Pieces of The Pieces

Once a boy and a girl, just pixels and dreams,

Building castles in a world that was never as it seemed.

From Minecraft skies to midnight calls,

We were everything, until we lost it all.

You were my best friend, my late-night muse,

Fell in love when I had nothing to lose.

We painted the future, planned every vow,

But the cracks were forming, I see them now.

You said goodbye, chose him instead,

But I stayed to listen when you cried in my head.

And I held you, though it broke my heart,

Picking up your pieces as I fell apart.

You never saw the pain inside my eyes,

Guess love is blind when it says goodbye.

Pieces of the pieces, they’re all that remain,

A love so deep it turned into pain.

I cared, I stayed, but it wasn’t enough,

Now I’m left with the ashes of our trust.

I hope you’re happy, I hope you’re free,

But it still feels like you took a part of me.

You came back years later, but it wasn’t the same,

The distance grew, we forgot the game.

I told myself to let you go,

But the boy inside still won’t say no.

You said goodbye with your final line,

Fighting battles I never knew were mine.

I wanted to fix it, to make it right,

But the man in me knew it’s a losing fight.

So I broke it off to save what was left,

A choice that still feels like theft.

Pieces of the pieces, they’re all that remain,

A love so deep it turned into pain.

I cared, I stayed, but it wasn’t enough,

Now I’m left with the ashes of our trust.

I hope you’re happy, I hope you’re free,

But it still feels like you took a part of me.

The boy still dreams of what could have been,

The man looks forward, but it’s hard to begin.

I hope you’re strong, I hope you’re whole,

You were the crack that divided my soul.

But as the pieces fade and the years pass on,

I’ll find myself again, even when you’re gone.
