When time pulls me one way
And life pulls me another
I reach for the bits and pieces
Flying by to make me whole again
Yet so many unknowns steal them
No framework or netting to catch on to
Dreams and wannabes duck and dodge each other
Like magnets pushing each other away
From completing the future plans
Yet still hoping to no avail
I wander in this fog of regret
And what was supposed to be
Never settling for less but not getting the more either
My heart is like a patchwork of broken momemts
Tied together with frayed ribbons
Of old bittersweet memories
Always lost in the waves of not now
Watching the swirling of forever
Mixing every thought with the tears
Of someone else’s life
The bits may never find all the pieces
That would form the ending that is needed
To fulfill the desires of this old lady’s heart.
