This Ruined Puzzle

This ruined puzzle is beige with the pieces all face down
So the placing goes slowly.
The pictures of anything other than it’s meant to be.
But the hours they creep,
The patterns repeat.
Don’t be concerned, you know I’ll be fine on my own.
I never said don’t go.

I’ve written a note,
It’s pressed between pages
That you’ve marked to find your way back.
It says does he ever get the girl?
But what if the pages stay pressed,
The chapters unfinished,
The stories too dull to unfold?
Does he ever get the girl?

This basement’s a coffin
I’m buried alive.
I’ll die in here just to be safe.
I’ll die in here just to be safe.
’cause you’re gone
I get nothing
And you’re off with barely a sigh.
I never said good-bye

Does he ever get the girl?
