Fixing What Isn't

You know the rest!

Happiness is like the same food 
you don't notice you always buy 
at your favorite restaurant until 
you realize the clerks recognize 
you by your order. A tranquil bliss. 
Not ignorant, just flooring the gas 
through tunnel vision. Not aloof, 
just a deep daydreamer. 
A perfect picture that falls 
apart when you shake things up 
and all that's left are labyrinthine 
puzzle pieces. It's going to take 
forever to put it all back together. 
Despite how easy it was to destroy 
in an empty conquest for unknown 
pastures. No matter how many 
pieces find each other again, 
it'll never be the same 
as before we went out 
of our way to destroy 
that one good thing.
