Pieces of people
Are all you see
Never grasping the whole
Of what they might be
Look with your eyes
See with your heart
Take all of them in
From the very start.
*************
Pieces on the floor
Tiny slivers, larger shards
Each a dagger, slicing me open
Wounds real and perceived
Draining me to the core.
*************
Pieces of a puzzle
Try to make them fit
Can't see the picture
Make no sense of it
So tired
Need to rest
Dawn comes
New day, new test
********************
We always share
Pieces of ourselves
Small,
Carefully portioned and packaged
Giving you the best
Hiding the rest
The dark, the deep,
The innermost parts we are not proud of
Or comfortable with.
You take those few pieces
Try to make them fit
But there are always holes
And you cry, "To hell with it!"
Take all the pieces out,
Put them all together
It's the only path to love.
Complete.
Forever.
