poem10

The pieces are there,
No one is like the other,
But they won't fit,
Oh how I try.
Piece by piece,
But it's no surprise,
I don't think they'll ever fit.
The framework is done,
A perfect fit,
But why oh why,
Can't I ever get,
Each piece to fit,
Day by day,
One piece starts to fit,
And then another,
But then disaster strikes,
And the pieces no longer fit.
