Broken

I found this
Broken on the ground
You must not want it
If you leave it laying around

It's in pretty bad shape
It's been kicked and trampled
Maybe it was just
Something you sampled

It's missing some pieces
I don't think it can be repaired
You shouldn't have taken it
If you never cared

They're not easy to fix
Some can't be at all
No matter what you do
Or who you call

You have to be careful
For these are very frail
Breaking them is a crime
Although you won't go to jail

Some people give theirs away
Without a pause
They don't think about
The pain it could cause

They can go on living
But they might never heal
From mistaking a game
For something they thought was real

I guess I'm one of those
Who made that same mistake
I still haven't learned
What's real and what's fake

Although you've damaged it
I guess I'll take it back
Since an interest in it
You obviously lack

So I'll leave you alone
And try to make a new start
Even without the missing pieces
Of this broken heart
