Frayed But Fixable

This broken feeling,
like there's a hole in my chest
where a chunk of my heart is missing.
For so long I forgot about it,
enraptured by my new love.
But it seems like the quick-fix single-stitch
is coming frayed at the ends.
I'm afraid I should have taken more time
to get over you...
like freshly painted nails that take too long to dry
and you move too soon,
ruining the perfectly polished shine.

What I have now is so much better
than I ever thought I deserved.
It wasn't at all what I had wanted for so long
but it was exactly what I needed.
In time, this wound will heal,
double- or triple-stitched by the new man in my life
with the nimble, thimbled fingers.

My New Years Resolution

Whenever I see the little orange and white Blogger symbol, I'm reminded that for a minute in March, I was inspired to keep a blog. Like most things I do, it had a limited life span and I soon forgot about it. But what if I hadn't? Would I be looking back on it right now and laughing? Crying? Maybe a little bit of both. This year has been quite the rollercoaster.

But alas, I rarely feel like I have anything interesting to say. And on the off chance that I do have something interesting to say, it's usually something I feel that only I would find interesting. Whether this is true or not...I've yet to actually find out.

But maybe I will make my resolution this year to bring this blog to life. This is my new journey.


...hopefully it's something that will last longer than a week :)
