New Year

The skies are burning, banging.
A flash of memories runs through my eyes.
Memory! Must you torment me now so?
Of this time last year?

Of how he held me close
From beneath a blanket we watched fireworks.
Of how happy I was, felt so loved.
Naïve! Unknowing! Of what will come.

This year our love went away.
Kind words of affection turned hateful
And anger was felt through his touch.
Memory! Was it necessary?

To remember and now weep over the lost,
To realize without illusion he has changed
Yet so have I.

Memory! Leave me in peace for tonight.
