Begin Again

Abandoned love letters collect dust in their once beloved hiding places

While sweet memories fade slipping into the shadows as new yet tarnished ones take their place

What was a happy beginning so new and exciting becomes a never ending habit

Sweet nothings have become bitter spit on her tongue

Sunshine and summer have gone cold and taste of cigarettes and regrets

The search for joy has become a scavenge for the tiniest bit of warmth

When will this end and solace be found wrapped in someone's arms

It gets closer and closer to the end each day but at morning light starts all over again

No end but the continual exchange of happiness for more time
