You came into my life
That’s when my puzzle was complete
Made me feel unstoppable
Like a force no one could beat
First strike was a bulls-eye,
You were the only dart
But were the kisses and cuddling fun & games?
Or did you actually take it to heart
You see, that’s why I write this letter;
Let you know what’s deep inside
The words I’ve always wanted to say,
And can now no longer hide
Off and on it’s forever been,
It never seemed to last
Past those one-nights we were together,
Do you miss them? I have to ask
Because I’ve spent a lot of time,
Thinking during nights as I lay
Thinking of you, wanting to see you,
Whether to talk or just say hey
Now I’m in a three-way race,
Winner said your lover to be
But why does it have to run on like this?
Can’t your heart be given to me?
People told me to leave you alone;
That I should put away this big old mess
And since there’s more reason to my sadness,
Here is my p.s.
You said that all you want is love;
Someone to treat you right
Yet you don’t answer the door when it knocks
Tell me, is it confusion or fright?
Are the pieces of my heart too small?
Or are they just not enough
They’ve stood the pain you left with them,
So at least we know they’re tough
Adults have taught us not to flee,
When ahead lies stormy weather
But it’s become too much, and all I want,
Is for you to put the pieces back together…
