Resolution

        
An empty inbox.        
       
Not one, lonely letter.        
       
This time 'round -        
       
heartbreak equates to:        
       
"I'm truly sorry!"        
       
Followed by a soft whimper      
       
"I never meant to hurt you..."        
       
Then one stoic "Goodbye..."        
       
right after he lashes out        
       
"As YOU wish!"        
       
Chalk it ALL up to        
       
'Losty' ambition        
       
but a small hunch tells me -        
       
this decade will fare        
       
far better  
   
than the last.  
       
       
****        
       
I stare down        
       
at the stunner on my finger.        
       
The very same rock -        
       
I purchased my own damn self!        
       
Oh, how it sparkles -        
       
reminding me...        
       
whether it's a new year        
       
or not,        
       
never to settle for        
       
bullshit.
       
       
"I could have loved you, you bastard!"        
       
Silence suffocates my screams.        
       
At least now...    
       
all my tears        
       
are behind me.
