Pieces

Piece by piece, put me back together.

 

Piece by piece,
bit by bit,
put me back together.
Take the shattered pieces
and mend them with love.
Broken reflections
mingled with tears
cannot be erased
from timeless memory,
but they can be forgotten.
Stress and frustration
can be melted away
with the tenderness
of whispered words.
Sleepless nights can pass
without a star
or a whim
but can be washed away
with joyful feelings.
Bitter feelings
can consume the soul
and cover the inside,
but a little love
and a little hope
can spark life
in almost anyone.
Restlessness,
manifested by a chain
binds me here,
evermore.
In the darkness,
I can find myself,
and dream.
Dream of far off lands
and happiness.
Dancing, barefooted,
in the sand,
on a starry night.
Laying on the beach,
letting the tide
sweep me away,
to lands far off
held only in my mind.
Dancing,
around a fire,
dancing,
with destiny.
Pieces of my dream,
broken as I wake up.
Back in my room,
no where is my dream,
but in my head,
and no where
will it ever be.
Displaced emotions
flood and break over
the dam of my heart.
Pieces of my heart,
melted together,
but not whole.
My mind,
disconnected and idle.
Dialtone.
Pieces of my soul
drift together
to form half a person
and half a heart.
Make me real.
Become my other half,
my other side.
My new emotion,
my new piece.
Shades of me,
shades of grey,
each a new side,
each a new emotion.
Each piece,
a different shade.
Each piece,
still me.

 

Author's Note

This is very old and kind of jumbled in my opinion so I still like parts of it. Again, just want an honest opinion about it.
