Pieces

Hello, my name is Daniel,
and I'm infatuated with puzzles,
or as my therapist calls them,
"projects"
what can I say?
there's something thrilling about
finding that perfect piece,
while sifting through sickle like shards
completely naked and naive,
who knew piecing a heart
back together was so
catastrophic...so romantic
anyway,
the love made me do it

Hello, my name is Daniel
and I'm terrible at puzzles,
like clockwork realization hit
only after I dug
in my chest pillaging my own heart
to make hers full,
forcing pieces back to a heart
that wishes to remain broken
is pointless

Hello, my name is Daniel
and I should know when to move on,
I was so close this time
to repairing in her
what I couldn't in myself
...I think
but to be honest, facing her demons
let me forget about my own

Hello, my name is Daniel
and I'm...broken
