the fireworks have flown, <br />the wishes have been welcomed, <br />the booze has reached the brain, <br />yet everything still seems the same, <br />alhtough one year has bid us farewell, <br />and a new year has arrived. <br />on the acid crystal drops of the rain. <br />a heavy head greets my morning, <br />just as it has always done, <br />as sure as the sky and the sun, <br />The coffee still tastes as bitter as i, <br />like it did last year, <br />and the year before, <br />the Car refuses to wake from its mechanical sleep, <br />the Radio showers my ears with static, <br />just as it did last year. <br />the date may have changed, <br />but life's enduring pains, <br />simply move with the years<br /><br />Not Long Left<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lives-don-t-change-like-dates-do/
