Wishing I could hear your low voice on New Year's Day/

Watch you shed a tear for living through another year of what hell had to pay/

Hear you tell me that you love me before I leave on a Sunday night/

I wish I could feel your presence in the room and it be true in sight/

Holding your hand is now a dream/

That I wish was I could believe is reality/

But now every New Year's is a shadow that keeps haunting me/

Thoughts become pieces/

Pieces that form sheets of/

Images lined up like symmetry/

Created by my lung being collapsed while recovering/

From the crisis/

And paralysis/

That might just/

Make me cock this shotgun back and turn my face into a bloody mess/

I wish that this day wouldn't have never happened/

Words are like bullets to a window after it's been shattered/

My heart turned to a dry raisin/

Pulse took a vacation/

Voice died for all of twelve minutes but it felt like a longer duration/

Realizing this evaluation/

Is not a conversation/

It's more like a comprehension/

Of "this is no longer an integration"/

And your obituary created proof of a separation/

That nobody wanted in the first place some people believed that you just received your invitation/

From the gates to them it's a beautiful transformation/

I love you grandma and I can never replace you/

You'll always have front row seats at a concert when I start my occupation/
