Puzzling relationship





missing pieces from a puzzle

i've been trying to put together

it's taken me this long so far

sadly, i haven't gotten far

frustrated meetings at the table

shoving pieces where they don't belong

trying to make everything fit perfectly

and under the pressure

the pieces are starting to fly

caught up in a world wind of everything wrong

hidden pieces stuck behind desks and loveseats

clearly missing but nowhere to be found

and the struggle is not worth the picture

all of this for a cardboard picture

susceptible to spilled kool aid

and rambunctious little kids who touch everything

it's suddenly not worth it

my energy drained cannot be reclaimed

nothing will ever remain the same

it's a shame i got caught in this game

playing put the relationship puzzle together

thinking all along i could do it on my own

and finally i'm tired...

i've lost too many pieces to the loveseats.
