I guess she's your puzzle piece
in a way that I can't be so I hope

she completes you like flowers
that bloom on trees in the spring
And you shake her off like burnt autumn leaves
Dead, abandoned

and alone in the loam

like you left me
so often
before
green leaves rustling
like the cry of a young bird
hungry for recognition,
demanding to be heard.

&quot;At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1.&quot;
