I never understood love songs.
Not until you, dear, came along.
But now we are strangers again,
my own words feel hollow and spent.

Dear friend,
from my past

Do not harbour those
bitter feelings please.  
We loved and we lost.
I needed you - you,
me - thus our paths crossed.

Don't grieve this chapter
spent with eachother.
You will always be
with me, and me you,
we carved the other.

I wish you the best.
May you grow, prosper,
love and all the rest.

Today a new year
  is upon us folk;
our shoulders sinking
  still below the yolk.
In earnest I pray:
  it be better yet.
Reaching for the light,
  wispy arm outstretched.

Lord, give me courage,
  strength to do my best.
To break these wilful
  chains which crush my chest.
Thaw my fingers which
  clutch onto this key.
Help me rescue my
  dying creativity.

On my knees, I beg;
  how I plead to thee.
In this nightmare of
  a life don't leave me.
I so wish to crawl,
  to stand, walk and run.
How I wish to breath,
  to talk and to love.
