New Phase

Last year's Tears Followed me into this year Still here As if after 365 days Would mean a new phase, When it's all the same time line The same life yolo right? nine For the cats who I envy, My heart on no calendar can be For it understands not time, Just love, When there is none Time is glacial sublime, When it's present like a glove, It's camera flash after flash and gone, Before I can even register Like skipping the steps And sliding down a banister, But I still feel it in my insteps, I know it wasn't a dream, And so; I cry as I silently scream, Cursing those joyous around me Filled with New Year's glee...
