2006 the end
As I lay her pondering the last dieing embers of the year
I sit here alone
The wind is blowing
Taking in the vision of my reality
Wondering why I am alone
Knowing full well there are those that
Want my friendship and want my love
I choose this for my self out of being tired
Or do I choose this because I am unable to commit to anything that is good for me
Nothing is as it seems
Nothing is clear to me
I look forward to my mind and wonder how I will be for me this coming year
Will I be distant
Will I be close
Will I choose this year to be in love
Will I choose this year to be with
Or will it all slip through my fingers once again
Or will I spread my love leaving nothing for me
Or will someone stand up and say “pick me” and I won’t see it
Or maybe they have and I haven’t seen it beyond my wandering eye
I ponder these thoughts and know that I am alone in my decision
Alone in my bed
For this is where I choose to be
As sleep over takes my mind and thoughts
I fill my heart with love and grief
I feel the cold of the wind on my back
The clock strikes midnight
The year ends at last
I sleep
