Can you put me back together?

I'm a jigsaw puzzle man

With vague little pieces

Of vaguer jigsaw puzzle plans

I really hope I'm dreaming

Because it hurts to be awake

I'm afraid of what I'll see out there

And scared of my mistakes

Because I don't know

What I could really need

But I might need to know

How to live but not bleed

They say happiness is a pursuit

But it's a wild goose chase

Brings me round and round

Yet returns me to this place

Should I be pursuing?

Or shall I stray away?

The happiness that lightens,

Is a weight upon my days

I think I know what I'm seeking

It's just too painful to find

So I'll leave it here for a while

In the confines of my mind

Perhaps someday I'll reveal it

In a letter torn apart

Just like the shattered pieces

Of my clichéd and broken heart
