We are two puzzle pieces that are
Never meant to be together.
We look like a harsh disarray,
With our colours so messed up
(We aren't even complimentary colours).
When we are together,
Things get out of order,
Because I took the place of the one that
Should've been here, so (s)he took the other's and
So on.
We are destined to make a mess
And just as difficult as fitting us together
It's almost impossible to tear us apart cleanly.
We struggle,
Curse,
Yank -
And for that we are made of thin cardboard
We end up wounded,
Torn,
Twisted.
We should have found more compatible partners,
But somehow we are stuck together.
We are destined to mak
Soft voices in the wind are real.
The faces in the clouds are too.
Spring brings life to let us feel.
Just for me and just for you.
We can see the daffodils
lighting up a fairy path
We can hear the winter’s moans
fade in its own aftermath.
We can see the jumping joy
caught in lambs, skipping, hopping
We can see the green shoots rise
ever upwards, never stopping.
Butterflies are heard to whisper
sharing all these secrets too.
Please don’t tell the grown-ups these.
They’re just for me and just for you.
A magic unspoken;
a spell that is broken.
Away flies her dreams into silver streaked skies.
A girl that has woken
by kiss, just a token
of love from a prince who has tears in his eyes.
Forgotten thorns scattered
on earth; nothing mattered,
His flesh bramble-caught, pulled taut till it tore
His heart pitter-pattered.
A glass coffin shattered;
shard diamonds glittered the dress that she wore.
The sun blessed them both
as the pair plight their troth;
away slid the brambles at first light of dawn.
For love and their oath
had banished the growth
from the curse cast in past, so wickedly sworn.
Made a lot of them
plenty of times in this lifetime
some small and receive
just a slap on the wrist and a warning
Some rather large
that I should have just
kept my mouth shut
and not say a word to avoid being hurt
But a few I question
if it was my fault
or if I just became
a scapegoat to blame for other's mistakes

I’m at the end of my tether,
The end of my rope;
There’s not much life left behind
And far too little hope.
I’m struggling to overcome,
Struggling to survive;
What’s left’s not enough
To keep me alive.
Please grant me mercy,
Forgiveness and grace.
Grant me feelings and a future,
A life and a place
In Your kingdom,
On your lap, in your arms;
Protect me from myself,
Protect me from harm.
I’m at the end of all endings,
The end of all hope;
I’m struggling, Father,
I’m battling to cope.
So please grant me peace
Of all mind, heart and soul,
As I struggle to ma
