chantelle ribeiro - The Puzzle...

Just when the last piece falls into place
when the puzzle is complete
When years of searching melts away
And new hope grows in the Spring
You turn away
Running, screaming for the hills
And leave me heaving, barely breathing
clinging to what is left of this
an empty dream
An earthquake starts from deep within
shaking me
breaking me
pieces of puzzle explode into nothingness
some pieces are lost
some are tossed into space
never to be seen again
And I am left shivering
lost again
Not knowing if I can ever trust again
And the circle continues
Starting by square one again
I pick myself off from the floor
Once again hurting to the core...
