One Piece

There’s a longing we all have,
You cannot deny it.
Some carry it openly showing the world
Saying they are not ashamed
Because they know the truth
That everyone is searching
For that fraction of their soul
The one that is missing
From a corner of their heart
Where it was given long ago
To someone, somewhere.
Some try to hide it
They find flighty distractions
Or like a difficult puzzle
They fill the gap with a mismatched piece
But it cannot be done
Only one piece will match
And it aches to be whole


There is a cure and many have found it
Like a puzzle it takes time
And the patience to search for it
Though the quest may be long
And the picture is incomplete
There will be a time
When you find it and know
That the fit is so perfect
So right and so whole
That the piece will slide in
And match as it should
And the ache will be gone
And the picture will be whole
What once made you despair
Will completely disappear.

There’s a longing we all have,
You cannot deny it.
