Reminiscing

i look back to the last day of last year
i leave you there
you are enough for me
the pain has lingered
but today
i am finally removing your picture
in my mind

i empty myself
i look forward to another image
that must make me live
and be so alive
for the coming days of this year

goodbye i had enough of the pain
i must succumb to an overwhelming gladness of
my own freedom
