A New Year
Cal May Gates - February 28, 2025
My best friend kisses me tenderly,
I caress her slim waist expertly
As we sing for auld lang syne
I lay with fallen angels in the grass,
The smoke in my lungs feels like broken glass
As we sing for auld lang syne
Sailing the streets, a man is howling
Clutching his sides, his vision is clouding
As we sing for auld lang syne
Blood pools on the pavement
Crude art - a strangers entertainment
As we sing for auld lang syne
Lost before he hits the ground
No family, no friends around
Only the drunk and high divine
Left to sing for auld lang syne
