Unpurged Sad Memories

I am but an unsolvable puzzle,
A strange enigma of shattered pieces,
Mute, voice restrained by an iron muzzle,
     Dreadful as despair slowly increases.
     Fragile feelings and thoughts,
     Scattered around like dots.
     My lost mind quickly rots.
                            What’s really true?
        At once I knew.
          Now, not a clue...
Now the unpurged sad memories tousle
With my life until my hope decreases,
And I am mute.  Try to speak, but cannot.
                            I’m colored blue.
