Things I Was Thinking

collecting dust in a jigsaw box

i've never been good at jigsaw puzzles,

but let me see what i can do -

our hurricane of pieces,

i haven't got a clue.

they say start with the corners,

and work from out to in.

the corners hurt the most,

the edges wear me thin.

i'll try shoving pieces together,

even though i know they won't fit.

i'll make a bigger mess than the hurricane,

and ruin us, bit by bit.

i've never been good at jigsaw puzzles,

i've seen what i can do.

we'll remain forever unsolved,

i'll remain in love with you.
