Drowning in lust
reached out for attention
and clung tightly to you
but all touched by me seems to break
I must have touched your heart
because I’m unable to find
pieces of you

Sharp words I penned
that rended wounds unhealed
and cut deeply both ways
but never me moreso than you
One and two, through and through
until nothing else was left but
pieces of you

Photos I hid
unbleached by light of day
and more found on Facebook
but felt the need to back away
Had to google your name
to fill in the puzzle missing
pieces of you

No one else to blame
for the fool I’ve become
and wretched soul as well
but the knight who slew the maiden
he was sworn to protect
haunting his castle looking for
pieces of you

With glue from dreams
mend the faded image
and built you up once more
but the figure I see just lies
to the hunger inside
so I stare emptily at vile
pieces of me
