Missing Pieces

Pieces of my puzzle that I once held tight have flown away
Searching too hard for them only results in finding nothing
But how do you put yourself back together when the pieces you clung to for safety have gone?
Desperate for a way out of this mess that I'm stuck in
Needing to clean myself up before it's just too late
Yet I continue to fade into the darkened distance because I'm not strong
Clouds hover over me as night skies threaten to take me
And I'd probably let them at this point of despair
Because caring has become too exhausting for my conscious mind
Numbness only leads to decreased sensitivity to emotions that I'm supposed to feel
But now it's hard to tell what exactly about this world is real
I'm forgetting where I'm going because I can't see passed these blurred lines
Questioning my existence wondering what this is all for
I have authenticity and sincerity at my core
But what good is it when no one wants to reciprocate
Loyalty and commitment that gets me nowhere
Fighting battles for love that always ends up being one sided
I'm done letting wasted tears fall from my eyes
