Broken once more, into pieces I lay,
A puzzle to put back together.
I've lost count of the times this has happened.
It never goes back quite the same, I wonder,
Do any original pieces remain?

Once together, the picture is unrecognizable,
Feelings no longer matching what gazes back.
Fantasizing of throwing the puzzle against the wall.
If I can control the break, just maybe,
I can pick the pieces to rebuild.

Or is too late, the time being passed,
For the puzzle to even matter?
What if it's just left lying on the floor?
If I don't pick it up, let it be,
Will anyone even notice it's missing?

I dream sometimes, in bed at night,
Longing for someone to find a piece.
Maybe it's the one fragment they need.
Or was it already discarded, tossed away,
Lost now to time forever.

Full of foolish hopes, sweet lucid dreams,
Clouded conflicted is the man alone.
Maybe only the idea is left.
All out of answers, this puzzle me,
Whose pieces will ever fit mine?

I held you for a while today
As for a moment time stood still
Hearing the beat from the sweet heart
Of the girl that makes me feel

All of the world melts away
With you here next to me
Or on a ride along the road
With no destination to be

Even when you are away
And your presence I am not graced
Warmth remains all of my days
For in my heart you were placed

Purpose given to a life saved
An unexpected angle sent this way
Now dreams at night all of the time
Wishing you were mine today.

Mind racing, heart is full
Hair on my skin elevated
Breath is felt on the neck
No longer could we have waited

Pulled closer, our bodies touch
As we become entwined
Lips meet oh so soft
Hands interlock and bind

Skin explored, every inch
Time is carefully taken
Fingertip touches of the chest
Passion has been awaken

More than lust, a feeling rare
What is it we could discover
Laying here with the thoughts
Could you be my lover?

Looking not, I was for love
Or anything of the such
Accepted of what life became
A fate devoid of human touch

Lukewarm grey the colors around
Before a shot in the night
Led me to my sweet muse
The lovely lady of light

Comfort calm from her eyes
With a glow around the face
The first time they gazed mine
I felt I'd found my place

Only love known by a heart
Wrapped in a soul so pure
Pouring out of the one girl
I wish I could hold near

Explosions felt when we kissed
Like nothing that's been before
No one like you I've ever met
Are you the one I've waited for?

I see love when I look at you
Radiantly written across your face
A passion for those sweet boys
That were granted by heavenly grace

Three hearts in one, oh so strong
That no evil can defeat
Exuding light and spreading joy
Marching only to your own beat

Amorous is the gaze returned
By the boys that only know love
Blessing souls while touching lives
Three hearts gifted from above

No matter what happens from here on
Your legacy of love is sealed
You are love, they are your heart
Your purpose has been revealed

Gives me strength watching from afar
A reminder there is always hope
I see love when I look at you
I've been released now from my rope.

Alas from the darkness a glow does arise
The beacons of Gondor are aflame
Heart called for aid in a perilous time
When drew from your lips was name

A man half alive in the wilderness lost
Was content in my place just to be
Everything changed when your soul was shown
With your heart calling out to me

An angel of God my lady of light
Rekindled a passion long astray
A fire inside that has never been felt
Has made me a new man today

I carry you now wherever I am
With feelings that only will grown
Admiring so much all of the love
Flowing from the strongest woman I know

Placed with you when the time was right
After the years my heart did prepare
Hopelessly yours now sweet dear
Ashley Faye, my unicorn so fair.

Isolated ******, caught in thoughts
Of a man long lost astray
Purpose fading leaving a shell
For time to wither away

Ten lifetimes lived inside one mind
Seeming now all for naught
Just memories made to never share
From a man the world forgot

Slower still, the clock ticks by
Each day that comes and goes
Drawing to a darkened night
For the one that wasn't chose

Sleeping never, all out of fight
Bereft of love life brings
Peace long lost, just left waiting
For the end of all things.
