If I cry silently in the dark who will hear me,
these are not tears of sadness but of lament,
I am allowing them to flow to set me free,
my New Years resolution is my intent,

For if I have no grief or sadness left in me,
then this heart of mine will no longer ache,
my mind will be settled and my soul at rest will be,
these tears are for me and for my own sake,

So much good advice has been passed on,
it is time to set oneself free,
memories have moved on it is time to let them be gone,
I am doing all this for me, for me,

When that clock ticks down and into year anew,
my mind will rise and my spirit will be aflame,
there will be no more memories of you,
am no longer accepting myself of any blame,

Am getting myself ready to be free,
this will be my time with no more shrouds,
my heart and love will be back to me,
no longer the hurt one or feeling pain, for myself I will be proud.

Come on next year and break this self made chain,
the one I made myself because of loss for you,
I have nothing to lose anymore but so very much to gain,
my next love will be the one, she will be so true.
