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.
