Same Old Same Auld Lang Syne

by JJ Johnson


No arms to wrap around my waist
No hands to hold me close
No eyes to gaze into my soul
No lips to paint mine red
No heart to beat with Auld Lang syne
No feet to dance with mine
Nobody to keep me warm tonight
No fingers but mine to turn out the light
No one but me to feel the tear
Returned to end another year

Immensely sad and nostalgic. One can only hope for a new beginning and year for you.

Poignant, I feel the loneliness and longing in this lament.
