picture puzzle

here's a picture puzzle

what will the picture be

pick up the pieces

and put them together and see

here's a piece of emptiness

in the shape of a hand

put it here

here's a piece of loneliness

in the shape of a tear

put it here

there's a piece of longing

wonder where it goes

in that funny space

that's shaped like a face

i suppose

here's a little piece of pain

pick it up tenderly

recognize the picture now

from the pieces that you see

now

where's that little part

that's cut out like a heart

the most important part of all

it's true

what's missing from the picture is you
