One Little Piece

It starts out so
small
You almost don’t even
notice
The change is slight
Invisible on the
outside
To pinpoint its cause
Is practically
impossible
One day it hits you
There is something
gone
But it’s only one
little piece
Nothing big or major
An infinitesimal
shard
Easy to replace
Will it ever come
back?
Knowing not where it’s
gone
A tiny morsel is all
The pain starts to
shine
A pinpoint of dark
In a place meant for
light
The can damage its
whole
Merely because of the
absence of
One little piece
Will it ever be mended?
This now missing
piece
After all its size is
miniscule
A microscope can
barely glimpse it
And yet without its
presence
This one little piece
Can eat away at the
whole
Somehow I must find
This one little piece
That has gone missing
Just one little piece
Such a small little
piece
Yet still a vital
piece
This one little piece
This piece of my
heart.
