This Ruined Puzzle

This ruined puzzle is beige with the pieces all face down

so the placing goes slowly.

The pictures of anything other than it`s meant to be

But the hours they creep

the patterns repeat

Don`t be concerned you know I`ll be fine on my own

I never said don`t go

But I`ve hidden a note

it's pressed between pages

that you`ve marked to find your way back

It says Does he ever get the girl?

But what if the pages stay pressed

the chapters unfinished

the stories too dull to unfold

Does he ever get the girl?

This basement`s a coffin

I`m buried alive

I`ll die in here just to be safe

I`ll die in here just to be safe

`Cause you`re gone

I get nothing

and you`re off with barely a sigh

I never said Good-bye

But I've hidden a note

it's pressed between pages

that you`ve marked to find your way back

It says Does he ever get the girl?

But I've hidden a note

it's pressed between pages

that you'll read if you`re so inclined

does he ever get the girl?

But the hours they creep

the patterns repeat

don't be concerned, you know I`ll be fine on my own.

I never said don`t go

Does he ever get the girl?
