Christmas Twist
Just a little Christmas twist,
to show the love and what I miss.
I miss the way she looks in my eyes,
the way she touches, sounds and sighs.
On Christmas day I would have like to have been,
Although fate has a way of sucking you in.
Too far apart on this day in winter,
Too far away to tell her I miss her.
Too many times I have poured my heart,
This time too, oh, where do I start.
I committed too much already in this year of thought,
Provoked the demons and prodded what they taught.
I listened to my heart and opened it all up,
Watch how I partake and fill my cup.
Acting with out thought and as if I wasn’t crippled,
Yet crying like a baby, just pass me the nipple.
Funny, you say, in this rhyme I write,
Yet you have no idea how hard I fight.
Trying not to fall in this day of light,
and trying not drown, maybe wake up tonight.
On this Christmas day of frozen wonder,
Let the love come through and the hatred slumber.
You think I write this poem in haste,
Yet you have no idea what I have inside or how it tastes.
Deep in thought you say you are,
Yet, have you stepped back for a second to see how far.
How long has it been since you looked around,
Waiting for all my happiness to be torn down.
So let’s try to end this thought on a happy note,
I am sure we could ignore it and just vote.
One for happy, three for all,
Four for sadness, eight settles it all.
Although there is no vote for the happiness I feel,
Just her driving and shifting through the gears.
So have a Merry Christmas and good cheer,
While I sit here and question without a sneer.
So far away, yet so near to my heart,
Counting down before it breaks off the chart.
