year of solitude

the year is almost over

and i've got no one

to spend it with.

i've heard stories,

in real life and in movies

of people kissing under the fireworks

holding hands and celebrating one more year,

a year of company.

but,

even though i was with three people this year,

it feels like i had a

year of solitude.

and it hurts,

it stings like salt in my wounds

as i'm left to sit alone and rot.

like a sad little boy.
