Lethe
By cre
a year lost
in the frozen space of mind
where days die and return
with little waste of countenance
for we exist in a netherworld
where nothing seems to matter
because we can no longer bear that it should.

The funny thing is...I was just thinking that it's already December and it seems just yesterday it was the 1st of January. I feel like I've lost a whole year. And then I go to this poem..."a year lost" Funny how that happened...
