Poem: December 2022
A recollection of my life in 2022.
This is Me Now: 2022, a Recollection
December 2021
Shredded every hopeful thought
He said he didn't know me
A lie like a knife stabbed right through me
I always said what was on my mind— I had no reason to hide
From a man my heart was unequivocally devoted to
Those rose colored glasses fell off a long time ago
But my heart was held in his hands
And squashed uncaringly
In January, fits of anger and sadness washed right through me
February was more of the same, but financially I was healing
He reached out, trying to reconcile, but what he had done to me—
I wasn't ready to forgive
In March, I stood on my own two feet
All bills in my name
In April, I let him in
Foolishly
In May, another heart break
Purposefully
All trust evaporated
There was nothing left to forgive
As I no longer believed in him
June was warmer, better
Surrounded by family I healed albeit slowly
July I spoiled myself
Late August I learned I could buy a house
September, a trip to remember
Two sisters, standing together
Fun memories, happy laughter
October, a small dream come true
I feel stable, renewed
November, reality steps in
The cost is more than I wanted,
But I can afford it with no regrets
Now, in December,
Feels like the winter in my heart has begun
Still healing, but not wanting to let anyone in
I've felt this way before
And I'm terrified
Last time, I fell for someone I never should have
More than once
Like the universe showing me something I want, but I can't have
It's cruel and unkind
I don't want to feel that way again
Unrequited love can die
Because it should never exist in the first place
I want someone for me
I don't want to see the beauty of unattainable love
Shoved into my face
While it snickers at me
Let me be blinded as my heart ices over
Because melting will only bring the tears
And desires unfulfilled
Let me forget the beauty of love
Let me not look upon the face of someone so imperfect,
But perfect to the eyes of my heart
In this sweet cold winter,
Let the hope die and let me move on
I can rely on me when I have no tears to shed
A broken heart can stay broken
As long as love is unattainable
