The New Year's Resolutions

THE NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS This year I will Not! I won’t shed tears no more Over spilt, spoilt and splattered milk Trying to win you back All those years wasted On a painful, mind numbing love This year I will Not! Pray foul prayers for you Begging, bribing and beseeching Hoping you will drop dead In the arms of them ladies That steal you away from me. This year I will Not! Stay awake many hours Recanting, regretting and regressing Why, oh! Why me! Trying to retrace my steps A hopeless life, a wasted soul This year I will Not! Try to hide all these scars Scratching, slapping even slicing Recreating my torn skin Behind the facade of make-up Make overs and make believe. This year I will Not! ‘Cause you my dear are no more Your death, deceasement and departure Is my sudden re-awakening Here in the silence of my cell Fifteen years for manslaughter.
