(new year's display)

(new year's display)
confetti bursts out of my chest
like a rainbow display of
one thousand tiny paper memories
dancing and drifting into the new year.
I grasp at them with frantic fingers
stuffing them back inside my hollowed heart
desperate to hold onto every single one
when I notice the few that escape me
were those memories
we never got to make.
