As the year comes to a close, I feel drained and lost
The weight of pain is heavy, at an unimaginable cost
Yearning for a respite, hoping to be fine
This year has stolen my happiness, a cruel design

I plead with 2024, please be gentle, be kind
I don't want to endure this turmoil, this bind
No longer do I want to sob myself to sleep
I long for a peace that runs deep

Her cries echoed, piercing the sky above
But he, the perpetrator, remained uncaring, aloof
A nightmare haunting, a defeated shadow cast
Desperate for escape, his fate sealed and vast

It's too late, time cannot be undone
The date is set, his destiny cannot be...
