A New Year Poem by Michael Saurer

The old year’s gone
A new one begins
Will it be better?
Will it be worse?

The old one was hard
I played a horrible part

A girlfriend gone
A new love found
A Love
Not responded
Pain
Not restricted

My name stays the same
My heart feels like slain

A new start
On an old battlefield
A new day
In a world lost

A few things should change
But not my power’s range

I still am
The same guy
I still love
The same girl
So I go on
With all heart

A hard year is gone
But I’m not yet done
