I made it through the year
But the only thing that helped me through
Is not mine to depend on anymore.
I lost you
In the pause between sentences,
In the time span
Linking one breath to the next.
I knew in the year’s transition
That everything would change
And I already realized how there
Was nothing I could do to stop it.
You don’t know what to say
To make me feel better
And maybe there is nothing you could say.
But I wish I could earn back
Every breath wasted,
Every thought spent on you
Because I’m penniless now
With a future ahead
That only expects change.
