The New Year

Another Year has begun

But you are not here

Another year to magnify the loss

Reaching titanic proportions in the end

Another year of scar tissue

Holding back the pain, preventing self destruction

Another year of tears

Struggling from being drowned by the sorrow

Another year of not knowing why

Trying to understand you'll never return

Another year of wearing this mask

Knowing the rest of the world is cold

Another year to survive

Hoping to honor our life we had
