my love for you
takes the best part of me
every time I learn to live again
in one brief moment, your voice soothes frazzled nerves
to fracture them again
into a million invisible splinters
floating in the air without leads
only you could pick them up
and arrange again in a new, neat order
but it never happens and I am left
to my own devices
having less and less hope with each new sunny day
if it rains, I’m glad it can wash away all the pain
breaking my heart in half
I don’t want the other half
the one designed for you
but you don’t want to take it anyway
so I stayed
with a one-time and rare item
few are ready to appreciate it

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

How often is a heart left unappreciated, or at least not as appreciated as it should be? I would say only rarely not, usually at least one, sometimes even two. And it sucks to high heaven!
