Puzzle Pieces

Designed to attract anyone who saw A simple yet elegant beauty Combined with sincerity and mystery which left you in awe Consumed by a strong desire that I carry still today I poured out every piece I had And began building a surrounding wall to ensure the plastic people would stay Meticulously I chose each piece to entwine with its perfect fit Becoming a slave to its creation I set each piece together in order to create it Some pieces were complex with many different aspects to their form Some were plain without any sparkle or appeal While the others created a storm Each piece was unique and completely different from the rest Struggling to decipher how to put them together This desire became an obsession as well as a test Only a few people cared to help me mold it Some were too self- absorbed While others tried forcing pieces together that didn’t fit Only a couple more pieces left to complete its final mold Suddenly my project halted to a stop Eager to finish to see the entire image that would unfold It was missing one last piece to make it whole Searching and searching desperately to find it But it had vanished making it impossible to complete this goal I couldn’t shake the void it left behind A never ending search began again Looking for the missing piece that I can never find
