Piece by Piece

Piece by piece they built a dream

From the moment they fell for each other

And felt the other was a person of their dreams

Piece by piece they tried to build a life together

Hoping one day they could have a family together

Even though it wouldn’t be recognised by others

Piece by piece they fought for their love to be accepted 

Battled society norms

And what others perceived then to be

Piece by piece they won society over

And we’re able to start the life of their dream

But soon their love grew old

And their relationship grew stale

They found it difficult to accept each other’s ways

Their differences drove a wedge 

That tore them apart

Unable to reconcile, they broke each other’s heart

So piece by piece

They picked the pieces of their shattered hearts

Trying to glue it together what once was whole

But never ever able to mend to before

So piece by piece they tried their best

To return to a life

As if the other didn’t exist

Piece by piece
