Broken Pieces

Sifting through the rubble,
Of broken lives and loves.
Picking out fragmented pieces
And brushing off the dust.

Motivations never attempted,
Gestures that went unheard.
Beautiful thoughts never expressed,
Emotions that were never stirred.

Dreams that stayed as such,
Intentions of all things good.
Small pieces of inspiration,
And of longings to be understood.

A comprehensive variety,
Of moments never transpired.
Each piece a potential memory,
That is now forever retired.
