jigsaw

​I cherish those pieces of you I shared,

It had to be enough, the times we cared,

Propping me up in times of woe,

Helping to fight the common foe,

My knight in armour,

I think maybe not,  knight in ardour,

That’s a possible plot,

We never had a future just a here, to adopt,

A mutual need,  so no angst or hook,

Sharing our time, like pages in a book,

Learning to grow and fulfill myself,

Came directly from  scraps, found on our shelf,

The jigsaw of life more complex than some,

Fitting together, our demons overcome,

Once more the jigsaw of life is tipped from the box,

Lots of the middle retained its locks,

Fitting the stray pieces together again,

With new insights a clearer refrain,

I cherish those pieces of you I shared,

Learning and growing my jigsaw is prepared.
