Problem solving
Problem causing
l o v e
Overrated
But underestimated
  just enough
and She fell
once
twice
  three
times
over
each time wishing she could go
back
to the girl
She was
before

Open bottles
Emptied with Her glass
l o v e
Washing down the memories
Of a heart broken in
h a   lf
and She broke
once
twice
  three
times
over
each time scouring for pieces
She had  lost
but all She is
  looking for
is
a Part
of
Someone
Else

~but you are enough~
