A year approaches
A year departs
From the heat and warmth of March
The rainy and dreary days days of Summer
The painful days of Autumn
The tears of December
The days when a moment was all we could take in
When a breath was dragged out in pain
Of joys and laughter
Hope-filled songs
Remember the hope with which we faced the day
A year ago
With hope and a tinge of sadness
Of days when tears weren't enough
Days we couldn't block it out

Hide me, Sprint me away

From Birthdays unrejoiced
Unmake the year,
Make the year remembered no more
From betrayals, to shame, to red rage
From November days of wiping tears

HIde me, sprint me away

Of Christmas unmarked but by prayer
Of sin and forgiveness
The joy of family and laughter
The pain of Nothingness
Yearning and aloofness
A year passes

Hide me, Sprint me away
