You said I'm like a puzzle,
So easy to be solved.
I have over a hundered thousand pieces,
How do you know I have every one?
You say I'm like a picture,
Worth a thousand words or more.
Now tell me,
Can you even think of that many?
I've lost so many piece of the puzzle,
So now I have to look at how it use to be,
Seeing how I use to fit together,
Show how much has been taken,
Forever they'll keep.
I don't want those pieces back,
They can have them as an extra piece,
I don't want the bent and tattered piece.
I'd rather it stay empty.
Someone will make a new one,
That will make a perfect fit.
Now tell me I'm just like a puzzle,
So easy to be fixed.
