A Million Pieces
A Million Pieces
Take forever to put back together
They have you searching
The world over for those pieces
That were blown away by the wind
You grab the pieces you can
Yet they slip away like sand
Slipping through your fingers
You need these pieces though
Because without them you're just hollow
So you go out into the world
Searching for the pieces of your heart
Whilst many step on fragments
Without even batting an eye
Scouring the world over
Only to be left cold
Taking the piece you can hold
And having to start over
Will this heart ever grow back
Or are you destined to live in a tragedy?

Thank you for the comment
Hope can really get one through the toughest of times. However when there isn't any hope, that's when searching for hope becomes the real mission.

Dear S,
Absolutely stunning write. The pain and questioning throughout is truly heartfelt and your closing stanza is phenomenal. I wish I had the answers for you. As I wonder and live through similar situations like this I’m completely lost and at times I feel like my life reads like a gothic novel yet here I still am. I think this is such a great piece. H🌷

One hopes that there is some grand irony or the cliché of things eventually turning out good but man if that's the case, why doesn't or hasn't it happened sooner?
