to put the pieces together
back into my life
I'd have to know where those pieces are
and how far they've gone

and is it too late?
should I start off with a clean slate?
with so much on my plate

no traction beneath my feet
I sink
I'm sinking, I'm gasping
while grasping... for anything to hold

but anything in my grip
slips
I'm slipping
I'm missing

making
I'm making mistakes
aches, I'm writhing

pain
when can I get past the door and stop looking through
the pane

SMASH
the pieces, they're everywhere
some too sharp for me to bare
and I pull all together to make it whole
but my final result still remains with
gaping holes

the pieces to this puzzle
won't hold
