Just when you thought you’d reclaimed all of the pieces of yourself
You notice a piece is still missing
A peace is still missing
And there’s no telling where it might be
Maybe it got washed away in all those tears all those years ago
Too busy running away and distracting yourself to have noticed before
But now that it’s quiet
Now that you’re calm
Now that you’re ready to press on
A peace is gone
The peace that reassured you that everything would be fine
The peace that kept your mind from wandering too far away
You were so busy keeping yourself busy that you didn’t even miss it
I don’t know where you should look
I don’t know where you might find it
But I’m praying you do
