another year past
your memory still
lingers
in my head
in my heart
at the bottom of
an empty glass
I've tried drinking
you away
but I've learned
you can't forget that way
and forgetting you
is the last thing
I want
damn its the hard knocks life
lucky you
set free
an angel with broken wings
I too wait to be
cut loose
instead I wear
this noose
as though it were my tie
I would wear to a party or
a funeral
its gloomy outside
last night I cried
I didn't even know what for
but I know that I was sad
I've had days like this before
its you I miss
you left me all alone
but I guess I did the same to you
what did you expect me to do?
caught in addiction
I couldn't comprehend
only until years later
when I was tied
by my own hands
a slave to a needle
a slave to a line
now I'm a slave to a bottle
far from being fine
now I'm on borrowed time
or at least
that's what they say
its irrelevant to me
I just don't care
because in the end
in another life
I'll see your face there
waiting for me
with your arms wide open
inviting me in
Happy New Year Steven
my lover
my life
