Gaslit Portrait

Looking back at all the moments we shared
is like looking at a jigsaw puzzle
each piece representing memories
each jagged edge managing to come together and
                                                  complete the story.

sometimes I wish I could take pieces out
                                                                 create a new picture.
take the good memories      ignore the bad.
recreate the melancholic coalescence
our relationship turned out to be.

But no story reaches its conclusion
without ups
                   and downs
                                      along the way.
some will scorch your tongue
                                          others taste as sweet as honey.

Letting Go is realizing there will never
be a pretty picture
to symbolize the story
                                   of you      and        me.
only fleeting moments like
                                            jigsaw
                                                       pieces
sprinkled throughout
                                   ever so sparingly.
