The Blood & The Bones

One more year of too early sunrises and never missed sunsets

Of love that felt like forever, then sorrow, then regret

There were hugs that I wished would never end

And the breaking of hearts we’ll never mend

I  stumbled upon the darkest souls and I kissed the sweetest lips

So much was simply lost or held tightly by just my fingertips

There were so many losses but even more to be gained

Nights I begged to forget and some I still pray to live again

365 days sprinkled with the biggest smiles and never ending tears

And 10 steps forward…then back to the rear

I saw better, I saw worse, I found beauty, I found flaws

And here I go again around the sun..  one more year to top them all
