Another Year Without You Poem by Suraj Samtani

After one slow year

I have again come here

Just to shed another old tear



Soaking up my masked gear

I waste yet another old beer

Just as my ego vainly attempts another new veer



In your name my heart surrenders to another new sear

In your name my shell hears another new jeer

In your name my ego considers another new queer



From someone once so dear

You now remain not even a faint peer

This was always my gut's quaint fear



My heart continues to condemn another leer

As through our past's paths my mind still runs sheer

All are ignorant that my beastly body is a just barbaric deer
