See how I move

So rigid and crooked.

These hands you once held,

Have lost their gentleness.

Outside this mind

This figure looks just the same.

Pieces of puzzles I make out with your words

Place them all together

But the edges are twisted;

Damaged pieces I’m certain that they’ll fit.

And you stayed to help me

But as the clocked ticked

You took your leave.

Stuck in the same misshapen figure

I sat alone

No color, no touch, no affection whatsoever

Gray's and blacks that torture my eyes

But my heart tells me to go on.

So I go on, fixing the pieces

Like thorns they cut in between my fingers

My knee’s are beaten

From kneeling down to you

From looking for our pieces.

An intriguing poem, this. There was only one error I spotted- if such it is.

But as the clocked ticked


Otherwise, a sound piece of work. Keep writing.
