Puzzle with a thousand pieces

Those before you never

Challenged me

Each had so few pieces

That before I knew it

I had already found

The answer

The final picture

I knew everything about them

I solved every mystery

Before I blinked an eye

You have a thousand pieces

And those who came before me

Who tried and failed to solve you

Threw the pieces

As far away from me

As they possibly could

Some of these puzzle pieces are torn

and worn away

By tears and years of feeling

But what a beutiful puzzle it is

You are not just

A puzzle to me

But that

Is what you are.
