Puzzle Pieces

The pains in this life are just a test,

A measure of how much I can take.

Before I finally give into these thoughts,

Before I cave in and break..

Each disappointment, every crack in my chest,

Scars and reminders of my shattered past..

Just another piece to this puzzles mess,

Another sorrow to drown in broken glass.

Empty laughter, and echoing lies in my head,

Hollow green eyes, frozen in apathy.

Lost in never ending promises,

And feelings that were left unsaid.

Anchored to the very bottom,

Without a last breath to breathe.

Trapped in such numbness often,

Afraid of what I refuse to see.
