Like an hour glass, I watch people around me grow and grow.
The sand is running down. Day by day, year by year.
I was raised without the possibility of death.
I'm orphaned from the life so beautiful, the scenery so new and unexplored.
I see in the mirror of what was so young, alive and innocent.
I feel as though I'm to be forgotten like a daily routine.
count down entered into glory 10 seems like

look up
its in a cup
it midnight
there be blinking light
and mabe horn sound
with largh crowns around
its
THE
NEWEARS COUNT DOWN
The first drink is to calm the shakes
The second one to help erase
This retched life that I can't face
All because of my drinking days
The third one to take off the edge
The forth is more to help forget
All I said and all I did
When I downed that one drink left
The fifth makes me foolishly think I can
The sixth helps slur what words are left
Where all of this will end up at
Word to the wise, don't place your bets
The seventh turns into a cry for help
While the eighth one helps itself
On the ship that has set sail
Upon this demon liquids constant swell
After nine I can't remember why
Ten to see I'm legally blind
After all of this you would think I'd find
A better way to spend my time
One rocket on the launch pad....----------------------------

We must stop block fess it going around it's near YEAR COUNT. DOWN
I am counting the days until I can be with you again,
I wish I was just counting hours,
I can't wait until one day we share the rent,
But for now I will just turn up with flowers.
I am counting on you to keep my heart free,
Though to you I will always belong,
So I will try and share with you eloquently,
With rhyming and music and song.
I am counting the beats of my fit to burst heart,
As they skip and they dance and they live,
Oh why does our life need to keep us apart,
Whilst we ration all we are able to give.
I am counting the lines that appear on my face,
As my lips turn upward to smile,
When I think about your tender embrace,
That will envelop me again in a while.
I am counting some money that I wish I could spend,
To gift you or share a nice meal,
But my bank account seems to apprehend,
and I have to keep it real.
I miss you my lover in every avenue,
But I will soon be with you once more,
and after we kiss and drink away our adieu,
I will promise to try not to snore.
look up its in a cup
don't look down
or around
the time it shining
newyears calling
its
COUNT DOWN
BALL FALLING
it i'll be soon
watch the moon
its say its all
as the snow fall
the new year bal
at midnight
under city bright lights
and the band horn sounds
WATCH FOR THE
COUNt
its near
end of year
the ball
wil fall
from the city wall
beware of the crowd clown
at new years eve
COUNT DOWN
as the night fall
the ball on the wall
is about to fall
lots of people
ar around
to listen in the cool breed
the
NEW YEARS EVE
COUNT DOWN
as the night fall
the ball on the wall
is about to fall
lots of people
ar around
to listen in the cool breed
the
NEW YEARS EVE
COUNT DOWN
He' attired in magnificient apron
smiled to me
his.or mine eyes told
" hey ! i'm here"
Looked elegant without
anxiety or can I say fear
instead of anxiety
He has some sort of
FRAGRANCE
I gave up everything to be with you
MY OWN DESTINY
the worlds at a end
take it from a friend
stop your sin
let gods love in
hear the sounds
this is the
COUNT DOWN
its a street
that never sleep
its a treat
listen to the beat
tho its a cool breed
you in enjoy new years eva
watch the ball about to fall
from that wall
there's the music sound
many people around
the city is bright
on
COUNT DOWN NEW YEARS EVA
NIGHT
