This ruined puzzle

is beige with the pieces

all face down.



So the placing goes slowly.

The pictures of anything

other than it's meant to be.



But the hours they creep

The patterns repeat

Don't be concerned

You know I'll be fine on my own.

I never said "Don't Go" (don't go)



But I've hidden a note

It's pressed between pages that

you've marked to find your way back.

It says......

"Does he ever get the girl? "

But what if the pages stay pressed

The chapters unfinished

The stories too dull to unfold?

Does he ever get the girl?



This basement's a coffin

I'm bured alive

I'll die in here just to be safe.

I'll die in here just to be safe.



'Cause you're gone

I get nothing

and you're off with barely a sigh

I never said goodbye.



But I've hidden a note

It's pressed between pages

That you've marked to find your way back

It says...

"Does he ever get the girl?"

But I've hidden a note

That's pressed between pages

If you'll read if you're so inclined

Does he ever get the girl?



But the hours they creep

The patterns repeat

Don't be concerned

I know I'll be fine on my own.

I never said "Don't Go" (don't go)



Does he ever get the girl
