Death of a memory.

Last day of the tumultuous year is upon us
and your hold on me as strong as ever,
this weakness inside fills me with disgust
but I vow this shall not continue forever.

Finding myself here on the eve of the New Year
discarding every single memory I have of you,
I'd be lying if I said it wasn't without a tear
but the new dawn shall bring only a forward view.

Not one single smiling picture have I kept
I have broken free of your binding chains,
I shall not look back at where I once wept
on this eve I toast the future with champagne.
