This Ruined Puzzle

This ruined puzzle is beige

With the pieces all face down

So the placing goes slowly

The picture's of anything other than it's meant to be



But the hours, they creep

Patterns repeat

Don't be concerned

You know I'll be fine on my own

I never said, "Don't go."



I've written 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 story 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, "Goodbye."



So I've written a note

It's pressed between pages

That you've marked to find your way back

It says, "Does he ever get the girl?"



I've written a note

It's pressed between pages

That you'll read if you're so inclined

It says, "Does he ever get the girl?"



But the hours, they creep

Patterns repeat

Don't be concerned

You know I'll be fine on my own

I never said, "Don't go."



Don't go



Does he ever get the girl?
