The New Year

There isn't much to say,
The year edges to the end,
The new year beckons,
What could be different?

Shall I in the new year,
Have you at long last?
As my suffering stretches,
To its tenth year of tears.

I pray to have you in my arms,
Every day and every night,
How shall a new year change,
Change all the tears I have cried?

New year's eve changes to new years,
By the one thing that always happens,
It all changes with a simple tomorrow,
Maybe tomorrow I'll see your eyes?

Maybe tomorrow I would see you,
Maybe tomorrow, hear your voice,
Maybe tomorrow, my tears will dry,
Maybe tomorrow, my pain will die.

Serenity Now

I just can't remember,
The last time I smiled,
A true smile of my heart,
Not the masks I wear.

The angel of nine years,
Never gave me a chance,
Pushed me into a corner,
Thought she'd claim me.

But little does she know,
I may be in the corners,
But invisible in the dark,
I silently smile to myself.

I don't know what caused this,
I'm not sure if I want to know,
One thing however is clear to me,
No one can strike me down tonight.

I sit in the darkest corners,
A true smile from my heart,
Challenging all the elements,
To try and strike me down.
