A puzzle

A puzzle 

A puzzle to the world 

And to him 

A puzzle

But to be solved

Or be lived

Some pieces fit perfectly

Other appeared to fit no others

So what was he to do

Leave this unsolvable puzzle for something

Someone simpler

Or stay with her

Constantly changing pieces

Fitting together with some 

And the next time

Not fitting any

A puzzle

Knowing the sum of the pieces

Made up all of her

But knowing

They would never all fit together

Every piece its own puzzle 

And he wanted to know every piece 

A puzzle

What to do

For him

The solution was easy

Stay

Keep fitting the pieces together 

As they would

As they allowed

Knowing it would never be solved

But it was not solving the puzzle that he wanted

It was the entire puzzle that he loved 

And it was understanding the pieces that he lived for
