You see
the problem is
i'm drowning
in my
ideal of you.

Beautiful, yet broken
Not a lost cause
Just lost
Waiting for the right time
After so much wasted time
Wanting to love again
But not ready
Having survived
She wants to finally live
To find someone
That will hold her heart
With gentle hands
To leave the past behind
And start anew

Broken and beautiful,
Like a crystal rose- shattered
Only to be glued back together
With some of the pieces missing
Or in the wrong order.

I wouldn't have you any other way.

I'd thought about that new year's kiss
even during the months no one cared
about the holiday
Only to find my crush
with her ex, trying to decide
who's tongue tasted better

9
And while my ex
is receiving cute texts
from a new man,
I'm higher than I've
ever been
nurturing a borderline
****** relationship
with a bag of Doritos

8
And my friends were laughing
in the back seat
because I said
"The moon is sideways"
and I guess
they couldn't see the
poetry in that.

7
And though I didn't receive
a midnight kiss,
I'll most likely be receiving
a ticket for Indecent Exposure
in the mail.

So it wasn't a total loss.

6
And instead of wishing for happiness
I wished for the ability
to properly express the rest of my emotions
in hopes of achieving it.

5
And I hoped to dis-acquaint
myself from feeling lonely
in rooms so full of people
I can't even move
or think

4
And my friends are close
and I think they were
expecting more

3
And my sister
inadvertently became the
goddess of drunk girls

2
And seeing love fail
in nearly every direction,
I closed my eyes

People shout Happy New Year
but only truly wish it on
themselves

There is neither here,
nor there,

Only nothing.

There is not then or now,
what was or what will be.

Only nothing
and the space between.
