Distance

I am a puzzle
Still missing it’s pieces 

She is a book,
Pages not yet filled 

An unlikely pairing, though we may be 
I fill her with words and she puts me back together 

But her pages are becoming scarce 
And I am running out of ink 

I fear this may be over 
But too scared to believe that it’s true 

So I live in anguished innocence 
And try not to see the reality before me
