I dared not to let you know
how deep you cut through her heart
when abruptly you drew back,
frightened of being more alone
Ah, dear one,
No one's life was free from carrying the baggage
Why should you try so hard to weighted yours?
I saw you hunched from bearing your pain,
drown in your self pity
You had met a friend of years you had prayed for,
why backed off because of afraid
your burden would break her pearly smile?
Your troubled mind kept you from learning
She covered days of hardship behind shining eyes,
She hid the heartbreaks in flowers,
concealed the wounds in it's fragrance
If only you knew
she sealed a day's fight at night
to welcome another in the morning

happy new year, Nick, Nicko, you by any other names
