My Missing Piece

In my kitchen
As daylight fades
I search for lids
In the shadows they evade
Containers lined up
But the pairs just hide
A simple match
Yet unoccupied
Where have you gone
My missing piece?
In this silent dance
I seek release
Hidden in corners
Lost in this maze
I search for you
In a quiet haze
Each bowl, a memory
Now incomplete
Echoes of dinners
Once so sweet
Through drawers and shelves
A longing glance
In this kitchen ballet
A lonesome dance
It's like a riddle
A story untold
Of things we lose
And memories we hold
In this gentle search
A lesson discreet
In letting go
And when to retreat
Oh, oh my missing piece
Where are you?
Silent and still
I stand alone
Amongst containers
Their lids unknown
A quiet surrender
In the evening light
Accepting the chaos
Of this endless fight
Where have you gone
My missing piece?
In this silent dance
I seek release
Hidden in corners
Lost in this maze
I search for you
In a quiet haze
So I close the drawer
With a whispering sigh
Underneath the stars
In the quiet sky
Maybe tomorrow
The match will show
Till then, in this stillness
I let it go
I'll let it go
