Last year's

Tears

Followed me into this year

Still here

As if after 365 days

Would mean a new phase,

When it's all the same time line

The same life yolo right? nine

For the cats who I envy,

My heart on no calendar can be

For it understands not time,

Just love,

When there is none

Time is glacial sublime,

When it's present like a glove,

It's camera flash after flash and gone,

Before I can even register

Like skipping the steps

And sliding down a banister,

But I still feel it in my insteps,

I know it wasn't a dream,

And so; I cry as I silently scream,

Cursing those joyous around me

Filled with New Year's glee...
