The Broken Puzzle

he was a puzzle to all

there were so many pieces to his personality

that people were in awe

he played the guitar

and smashed mouth soccer

and was an international star

women longed to bask in his glory

his rugged good looks charmed them all

they loved everything about his story

so, when he disappeared one day

no one knew what to say

the rumor around the neighborhood

was that he ran away

screaming into the night!
