The Puzzle Piece...
/The Puzzle Piece That Broke At Last
You kill me quiet in the cold
I always have to fold
my lucky hand a full house
And you tell me to put it out out
I’m not sure what to say
I just want the pain to go away
Yet each time you slice me through
I feel like I have no control too
as I murmur the right words to say
The whole time I felt like falling away
I’m poised and perfected as a picture
The only way to get back is by getting sicker
At least that’s what I feel as we bicker
Back and forth the same argument old
And every time I always always fold
I take myself apart so prettily and precise
I’m pretty sure I am made of ice
At least to die like this would be nice
The only way out is through
And a constant murmur of “I love you’s”
But you can’t stop to think it through
I break myself again and again for you
I am worth more than this
But you know exactly how to kiss
My lips and make me smile
At least every once in a while
I thought I long forgotten how
Yet Every time I always take a stage bow
I am owed a standing ovation or three
or I would even settle for an apology
I’m not even sure what I mean
I just want to know if you’re here
The only reason why I’m asking still
is because you have always been there my dear
until the dawn went down to day
The proof that nothing gold can stay
Forever and forever we are always
setting fire to the pouring rain
You carry my heart and it
is slowly consistently making me insane
I love you so much I can’t complain
I’m just so sorry I need to break
like a sunrise over the horizon
We are always going farther than we wanted
