Pieces

Three times, I stared it in the face and every time it laughs at me. It fleas, only to reappear at the mere sign of loneliness. At best a way to stay busy or even just a test of our weakness. It breaks me down bit by bit as it blows thru town. I try to keep it together, but fail miserably ever time. Like a star that shines so bright at first, only to then flicker away without offering the slightest sign. I sit and pine for awhile about it, then brace my mind for worse to come. Shattered pieces of my self mirrored a smiling face as the rest of my body hummed dismal jingles. I decide just to mingle through it, but it’s a battle to tough. Then I hear it, love, it whispers a scream at me, ENOUGH!
