Remember When I Smiled

Daniel wasn't the only one
To sleep in a lions den
He was
However
The only one
To escape unharmed

You broke something
Still to be fixed
I have worked this puzzle
For years
For a whole lifetime
Only to find
You took a piece with you

So here it is
A complete picture
More and more beautiful
You would be shocked
Yet there
Indiscernible - yet there
A hole
A piece stolen
Within that vacant space
A world

How does this work
How do we move on
Do we
Move on

I can't
Your calls well pass midnight
Tell me you can't
Then what is this
That we re doing
This isn't life
You can't live without

Without
Your peices

You can't be whole
Not while using a piece of me
As your own
It's making me hurt more
More than is fair
More than I imagine
You would ever want me to

That's because
I like to imagine
Pretend
Make believe
That you love me
Or
At least
That you loved me
All those years ago
When you actually
Knew me
When I lived you
When I worshiped you
When I gave that piece
In the first place
