Missing Pieces

I used to feel like I was whole

Before you carved into my soul

You didn't ask, you didn't plead

But now I'm missing what I need

I searched the cracks for something true

But all I find still leads to you

I'm chasing missing pieces still

The parts you took against my will

I try to name what slipped away

But every word just fades to grey

I'm not the me I used to know

And I don't know where else to go

I wear a face I can't defend

A voice that cracks but doesn't mend

I trace the gaps you left behind

Hoping there's something real to find

I reach for fragments in the dark

But all I touch still bears your mark

I'm chasing missing pieces still

The parts you took against my will

I try to name what slipped away

But every word just fades to grey

I'm not the me I used to know

And I don't know where else to go

I gave you pieces I can't name

You shaped the fault and left the blame

I searched for self in what you broke

But all I find is ash and smoke

I'm chasing missing pieces still

The parts you took against my will

I try to name what slips away

But every word just fades to grey

I'm not the me I used to know

But I won't stop until you show

Where our missing pieces go
