Picking Up the Pieces

He tore my heart apart
no real love there had ever been
ripped it into a million little pieces
and scattered it to the wind.
 
Never having any feelings  
not one teeny tiny shred of decency
he brought my world down
crashing to my knees.
 
But then you came along
from out of nowhere it would seem
picking up those pieces
and filling in my empty void.  
 
Asking me to marry you
wanting me by your side
it’s been forty years together now
and it’s been a beautiful ride.
