Patchwork Puzzle Peace

I spent a love falling in life with a mirage I was chasing

Did I pretend a figment unto you?

I thought I was safe inside your silence 

A thousand pieces of listless violence 

I shattered again and again 

Pieces of my soul 

Broken and built to amend 

It was never enough to save me from this patchwork I’d woven 

Fragments of what’d you give, taken and augmented 

A future to be falsely cemented 

Did I live a lie of my own weaving?

Or did you change the tapestry without my consent?
