Join in this beginning I see new
Could I start over without you?
Hear voice shake when whispering your name
Wet cheeks I bear turn scarlet with shame
The moon illuminating the grass
Clouds casting shade
In shapes they pass
Join in pursuit of truth I search for
Wind cuts me to bits
In pieces soar
My lips alone on this new year's eve
Bird migrated
Was forced to leave
About world I learned too much
Resentment reflected in your touch
I wonder why I am the only one who cries
Shedding pain from my eyes
Will be this way until I'm dead
Will the day arrive where I smile instead?
Will be cursed to forever dream
Laughter we cannot redeem
Butterfly wings shorn inside my gut
What if I never make it out of this rut?
