One look into the box and there you see
My world in pieces
A jigsaw written
This picture painted  
All at one in days of old
Now broken
Left for the forgotten

Go pick a piece
See that smile
It's been a while
When the sky was blue and the grass came green
But that was then and this is now

The box is flattened from its lonely place on the top shelf
Corners bent,twisted yet still performing
Even after all these years
Layers of dust hide the beautiful picture that
Once had pride
Once had a place
Once had a purpose
Faded is the view
Scratched is the paint but inside the beauty is still there

Put me together again
Glue the pain away
Make me smile
Make me shine
Don't hide me inside just bring this jigsaw alive
Wake me from the slumber
Go colour my soul
Fit me back together again
Make me the whole

Blood shot eyes stare back at me blindly
Is that really me now looking so old
Lines upon lines
Do you hear me laughing

Peppered hair that did shone brown
All faded away to the shades of grey
Fifty ??
Not here been a while me thinks

Well the years were good
Think I lost a few way's
Memories aging
The sweet shop fade

So I look in the mirror
It looks at me
All dreams gone and faded
My own believe

I'm stuck in the future
The stone is cast
A ripple is out there
This fade my last

Deep breaths as you dawn this
For you will see
Your life is your own live
Just look at me

Tears fell onto the glass outside
So here I lay
Curled so tightly
Crying out
Cursing the rain as it drowned out my
Screams

My soul was flooded
Yet empty
Voices that once echoed so sweetly
Now fell silent
And the knot in my belly
Continues

The daylight is coming
But here
Inside me
The darkness wins the war

Empty is my mind of colours
As I wash the walls inside me I see
Only white
A colourless colour
Missing the world
My mind on empty
Empty of life

Brushes wash and paint
Yet the white remains
Inside
Painfully hurting
Biting its way to a blur

Let me see
Let me see the colour of the ocean
Let me see the sun and the moon
Even my bitten lip cannot change this madness

So in my mind I follow the blinding
A slave to the system I paint
Painting the cracks
Patching the leaks
Holding back the colour
I battle it's beauty ..it's rage
It's wanting
Wanting me to burst
Into life

The silence deafened us
Yet we all knew the language spoken
Air so full of breeze
As waves of hands spoke their volumes

Prove enough that we were as one
Raging conversations for the muted
So in the end
Just like any other voice
The sounds became a din
So be it written

Into the four corners of my mind
Sat the monsters
Quietly sleeping
As I searched for their wake

The time to ripple was nearly upon us
Scars ready for the burst
The never ending **** of failure  
Would be haunting

So the tickle has begun
Wake my soul
Shake these bones
My talons felt thirsty

From the four corners of my mind
Dead eyes now shone
Rasping breaths devoured the stench
The wake had begun
