we cry, scream, and bleed our personal tributes as we struggle to breathe.
even though life is supposed to be together like a puzzle, most of us find that puzzles come apart pretty easily.
i've never put my puzzle together and i never held too tightly to the pieces.
i've found that i dropped most of them in the gutter as i trodded along.
my vocal chords are wearing thin and my heart may just stop beating.
i can't put my puzzle back together because i've found that i don't even have half of the pieces.
so, even if i get the few that i do have together, the picture will have gaps and it may never make sense.
i apolgize for being a burden on you, but i have finally arrived at the idea that i can be content without you here.
i don't quite need you if you could walk away from me so easily at it stands.
i'm not going to cry if you leave.
i cannot, do not, and will not cry as it stands, anyway.
i've bled for you too many times before and my scars carry me away like ocean waves.
i can not let you carry me away again.
if you want to tear my life and break my heart, be my guest.
i have ten puzzle pieces and you might get one if you're lucky.
i hold on tight to the little that I have.
most of it was probably never there, anyway.
