The Gift of Christmas

Expensive presents wrapped in fabric
Striped candy canes swirling with taste
Circle about the lighted evergreen
Waiting to bring joy that one won't waste.

Yet the children will soon grow out
Of china dolls and wooden trains
And desire a life filed with envy
That dominates and entertains.

Materialistic goods bring joy
But not everlasting bliss
Their main goal is to tease
And make you whine and miss.

Many do not call me blessed
For I have no trustworthy friends
But over the years I have concluded
That faith and hope always mend.

My heart is no longer lonely
Nor regretful for ever living
For I was lost but now am found
And am in pure thanksgiving.

All I have is my loving Father
Lulling me to sleep in His right arm
He is where my soul lies
And is protected from evil's harm.

I do not wish for a home
With a fire burning inside
For Christ has given me love
And opened His heart wide.

All I ask for this season
Is for everyone to understand
That Christ is Christmas
And in Him love will stand.

Holidays Alone

I guess I'll spend the holidays alone
Everyone's words are now one long drone
You've left and I have no one to lean on
For now I'll stick to friends because your gone

Christmas with just me, myself, and I
This predicament makes me want to die
Please think of me on the 25th of December
Don't sit and wallow just please remember

Just know that I am thinking of you
Because what we had, it was true
The fact that we drifted apart,
This statement is tearing me apart

I'm trying not to let my mind wander
Because it will always wander back to you
If you happen to miss me I want to let you know,
That every part of me misses you too

Driving Home and Dreaming of Christmas
by dollwithafrown

Curling under cotton wool and humming
tunes only James recognizes is golden;
writing words and creating legacies,
unknown and unloved, but always,
(always),
remembered,
simply for how burning
the passion was, or simply for how misunderstood
was the creator.

(question?)

and sleepless nights are piling high;
gingerbread lattes only get you so far,
every car faces a car crash; not all are able
to miss it;
very little are able to survive it if they don't.
I can't stay awake anymore;
(the caffeine is running dry).

snow laces the icy ground like fireworks;
pretty pictures paint my mind shades of
colours I'm all too familiar with,
and yet I've never seen before.
Santa says hello, you know,
(santa says hello).

eyelids dripping, pupils swollen -
can't see, too tired.
Christmas signs,
happy holidays:
will I wake up in the morning and open
presents with the family?

gingerbread lattes only get you so far,
and only some cars survive the car crash,
(far too sleepy, can no longer see)
wake up, James, you're falling asleep,
your heart's no longer beating;
the golden tunes are quiet.
merry christmas, everyone.

(will I wake up in the morning?)

Our first Christmas, my favourite holiday.

Snow , snow falling down.
Falling lightly on the ground.
Wind blows , mistletoe shakes.
Lips tickle my nose and makes my belly ache.
Christmas day, and my lover stays.
We rush off to dinner, so we don't be late.
There's a pot roast and chestnuts too.
Mash potatoes and cookies for you.

After we're done, we put on our scarves.
Then out we go and run across so far.
A chilly frost, ice thickly freezes.
We put on our skates while I give him kisses.
Hoping not to fall, I slide to win races.
But I slip and I trip, and bring him down with me.
We yell in pain, then laugh at our faces.
He hugs me so tight, and I do the same.

He says fate has brought us together this Christmas.
I cant help but to feel so excited about it.
His hand in his pockets, he takes out a box.
I opened it up , and he sees me so shocked.
I begin to smile. I love it so much.
Inside is a locket with a snowflake engraved.
He says, a reminder of our first Christmas,
My favourite holiday.
