Unrequited Love Affairs

No Closure

Closure constantly eludes me

Nothing seems to mend my broken heart

With the endless reopening

Of traumatic chapters I believed

Concluded years ago. 

But instead of new chapters,

I get sequels

Which evolve into series

Overflowing with senseless mistakes

Building pathways to deeper heartache.

Collaborating in demonic structures

That keep me from the life I desire.

I hate Facebook. 

A virtual portal

Spiralling like a revolving door

Welcoming past faces

I never wanted to see again.

And otherwise, probably never would have.

It's incredible how

You can resurface a healed wound

From millions of miles distance

Just when I thought I was doing alright.

There aren't enough hours in a day

To block and "un-friend"

Each one who left me dejected.

There are not enough distractions

To keep them out of mind. 

Maybe it's naive to want

An official "The End"

In the remaining years I'm breathing.

Heartsickness in hand,

I continue on

In hopes that one day,

There will be . . .
