Array ( [sid] => 148787 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Dooflatch [time] => 2009-03-29 11:59:59 [hometext] => Dooflatch is a word my grandmother made up to define a hole in a jigsaw puzzle, usually when the pieces are yet to be located but everything around it is filled in [bodytext] => I am a walking combination
Of everyone I've ever met
Of everything that's happened to me
And all the things that haven't yet

I still feel very incomplete
And I wonder what is missing
Like being unable to find a leak
In a tire that's constantly hissing

I have two shoulders you don't lean on
Two lips that you aren't kissing
Two hands that you aren't holding
I think you might be what I'm missing

Without you, I am unfinished
It's now so easy to see
If you'd let me be a part of you
You'd be what completes me.

one of the best poems i've read in a while. i like the quirky title, original metaphors and passionate tone. i like this bit in particular:

I still feel very incomplete
And I wonder what is missing
Like being unable to find a leak
In a tire that's constantly hissing

great work, an immensely enjoyable read. 5/5.
