Jigsaw
There's something just not right
about it
Like the huge void in our lives
The pieces don't join up properly
Pain fills the family with strife.
It used to be the perfect picture
Just seven months ago
Smiles and laughter, not a care in
the world
Now there's an air of solemnity
aglow.
Everything fitted together
Like children having fun
The screams, the sarcasm, the
laughter
Now tainted because you've gone.
I wish I could mend this jigsaw
Put all the pieces in the right
place
It's not going to ever happen
though
There's no one to fill your space.
Whoever would have thought
We would be all feeling like this?
Lost and confused, broken hearts in
two
Never can we shed this grief.
We once had a complete jigsaw
Every piece slotted where it
belonged
Now it's been taken away, no reason
why
What did we all do so wrong?
The jigsaw will never look the same
again
A life sentence we serve for no
crime
A constant flaw when we look into
the puzzle
A dream to see you in it one more
time
