A Year Gone By
Long gone are the days where I smiled without reason
Changed are my ways, just like the season
Lost in a whirlwind, influx of pain
Returning to emptiness in every sort of way
Blown are the leaves that lay on my heart
That covered the bruises and reveals all the scars
Tired are the eyes as they begin to give in
Sore are the throats from the birds as they sing
Retired are the cats that lay by the fire
Declined are the dogs that guard their empire
Washed are the sands that stretch out by the sea
But bright are the lighthouses for fishermen’s needs
We struggled a year to do what we do
It ends with a sigh, a yawn and the flu
For in this year, you’ve learnt to hold on
You’ve learnt to let go
And you’ve waited for some
Within this year you’ve learnt quite enough
You’ve learnt you could hate
But importantly to love
A year gone by and your glad that it’s through
Now prepare for another, decide what to do
For it’s a fresh new start like the beginning of time
You can focus on goals, determined to try
The months starts back at 1 and before it hits 9
You can’t help but ponder on the year that’s gone by.
