Puzzle pieces
Jaiden Sep 2019
I loved you
You loved me
We were happy
Yet things changed
Things got ugly
But I stayed
Through the darkness
Through the stains
I stayed

You broke me
Every little piece of me
Broken
And yet I stayed
Thinking that this was true love
That this was just a rough patch
That this would pass soon
That this would fix itself

We pushed it
We pulled it
We tried fitting it back together
But when you try
To put two pieces of a puzzle
From the wrong box together
It doesn’t fit

Sure, you can force it
You can shove the pieces together
So that on the surface
They look perfect
But take a closer look
I dare you
They just don’t fit

You wouldn’t let me be who I wanted to be
You molded me like a piece of clay
You mangled me into a shell of myself
Into someone you could control
Someone that did everything you said

But guess what?

I’m done

You
You
I didn’t know it would be you
My whole life I was looking for you
But I didn’t know that it would be you
Now that I know it’s you
It’s made me happier than imagined
Thank you for being you
Thank you for letting me be me
Thank...
You

I'm not good at poetry
Jaiden Sep 2019
I’m not good at poetry
I’ve tried again and again
Always failing to make things flow
To make things make sense
I can never seem to connect things
To create beautiful imagery
Always coming up short
I’m not good at poetry

— The End —
