Christmas Eve

by cassie   Dec 25, 2006


Christmas strains,
and christmas fears,
stupid carols,
and christmas tears.

Whatever happened to family,
singing laughing and having fun?
in this house,
it no longer belongs.

Fights, screams,
blood and tears,
welt marks, bruises,
alcohol smears.

Its meant to be happy,
so full of joy,
instead its a let down,
like a broken lost toy.

    Completely understandable poem. Christmas just doesn't seem to be the same thing it used to be when I was younger.
    meanings behind things change, and your poem i think does a great job of showing that. great emotion, i really loved it
    5/5
