My poetry book

one year ago

One year ago

I didn't think I could forget the taste of your lips,

the way they said my name,

the way they'd light up the whole room when you smiled.

One year ago

I didn't think I could ever like the mirror,

the way it reflected my worst fears,

the way it'd show me everything I was afraid to see.

One year ago

I didn't think I could ever survive this long,

live to see another year go by.

One year ago

I could've never thought I'd be happy,

I'd never think my happiness would last more than a week.

But one year has gone by

And I can't even remember the sound of your voice,

the way it said my name

and how my name sounds so much better

when I'm the one saying it.

One year has gone by,

and I look in the mirror

and don't hate the reflection,

and I sometimes even take a second look.

One year has gone by,

and I survived this long,

glad I didn't die,

glad I got this far.

One year has gone by

and I'm the happiest I've ever been.

So 365 nights have passed,

365 new mornings have bloomed,

and I'm not bleeding anymore

Happy New Year Guys! Hope you achieve everything you've dreamt of! :)
