A glare from his mother, her arms folded like the paper crane I’ve never been able to remember how to create
The ringing of a cell phone at one in the morning, and an empty dial tone on the other end
The salty stains on my cheeks that linger long after I stop crying

you should never trust a woman believe me, I’ve seen the things they are capable of, they trust and let trust, only to be broken they are forgiving yet never forgiven they don’t learn from mistakes but instead wait they wait for proof of humanity and stand frozen in stone and patience

new years does this thing with people
they think of clean slates like mother nature herself wipes us clean of regrets or worse, makes us believe we need not regret
new years does this funny thing

new years does this fucked up thing
that makes us forget...
