The sky has grown dark
The last daylight of the year
Has disappeared.
Only a few more hours,
And the door to this year
Slams shut
Leaving me in the dark,
In the silence
To open the glistening white door,
A clean slate
To the next year,
Alone.

A night of family,
A night of friends,
A night of parties,
A night of remembering,
A night of company,
And I sit here in silence,
Alone.

Plans are made
And plans are forgotten.
People let down,
Forgotten and left
Alone.
