I find myself
set straight with puzzle pieces
and staring at glass slivers
challenging them to let it all go
as another day passes
I blink my eyes on colored cardboard
and breathe and reach
to pull you closer
and finish this puzzle
just to be whole
each day you slip
further from my grasp
and as I choke out your name
I watch you glance away...
I'd love to let you go
but each day without you
leaves me as undone
and broken
as the one before.
