Red, green, silver and white
These colors light up a winter night
Pine trees all wrapped up tight
Plastic bulbs shining bright
Blankets of snow cover the ground
Sleigh bells are the only sound
Family time lost is once again found
How I wish it could be all year round
Classic movies on repeat
Your parents wallets' face defeat
Grandpa in his comfy seat
Waiting for the Christmas feast
I've recently found myself back in my shell
Pretending to be someone I'm not
And I think I know why.
I've pulled back from people
Only interacting with animals and strangers online
I'm opening my phone
To nothing
No messages, no emails, no missed calls,
All I'm getting is radio silence
The sinking feeling in my heart returned
The one where you know something is wrong
Stinging my eyes
The tears come
Pouring down
Relentlessly.
Still breathing
Still warm
Yet dead
To me
And me alone.
Grief floods me
Again
I'm drowning
