We are just buying time

I am broken pieces unable to be reconciled and they no longer fit and crumble at the slightest touch. I am looking in from the outside and you are brimming with completeness and I just do not fit inside of you and you make space but it does not work anymore. You are shining and brilliant like the brightest star in the sky and I dim beside you and you can't see me. I try to pick pieces left behind and they prick and hurt me and that's all I have right now and maybe this is the way it is
