Auld lang syne

I regret everything
Yet seek meaning in the trivial
Held together by memories which haunt me
Enemies of regret

Seeking solace in a bottle
Remarkable in vintage and color
Held high in memory
Of things I would rather forget

This year and last
Covered by the cold which reaches into my soul
I cannot forget what I have done
Of what I can never outrun

And yet here is to the future
A chance for redemption
Seeking forgiveness from others
Seeking peace within myself

Patterns laced amongst dreams
Threads of hope and conviction
Sown together with regret
Laid bare on the carpet in which I live.
