A Million Pieces

Two halves come together,
Expecting to fit perfectly,
They lock,
They fit for a moment,
But they break away,
Unable to be pieced together…

One of the halves has a jagged piece
Jutting out of its corner,
This is preventing the two halves
Making a coherent whole,
In an attempt to force each other to come together,
They smash off each other repeatedly…

This too fails,
More cracks and jagged pieces
Just appear in the two halves,
But still they try to force themselves to lock,
Continuously smashing off each other,
Every time they do, another piece of them falls away…

Until eventually, they are no longer two full halves…
They are just a million pieces on the ground…
