The holidays are here once more
Left crying in the snow
Stuck in my head are pictures of you
And that lonely day you had to go
I know it's cold and white
But I still see it stained with blood
It's 3 below and I'm sweating
My emotions seem to flood
I feel like satan stole you
And I can't help but cursing God
They all ask if I'm okay
I can't do anything but nod
I know that I'll survive
I'll try so hard to make you proud
They all know how much I miss you
Though I say it not out loud
I know you were exhausted
I wish you didn't choose to drive
If only I hadn't called you crying
I bet today you'd be alive
You were always there to rescue me
And now I'm all alone
It breaks my heart that when I'm sad
I can't just pick up the phone
I can't simply call you to come over
And you're not here to hold my hand
I tried my best to make some sense of it
But just can't seem to understand
So when I see that mistletoe
My teary eyes glance towards the skies
I wish you were here so I could those lips
So I could look into those gorgeous eyes
The holidays are here once more
But it's not the same because you're gone
I ask God but he can't bring you back
Maybe he'll help me to carry on
I try to feign happiness
Not quite sure what else to do
But I'll never get my one true wish
Because all I want for Christmas is you

A really genuine expression of a sad situation & your brave response & a controlled unleashing of emotions in your poem
Dear writer, I hope you find some solace in this season. I hope there are some other people who can help fill your season at least somewhat. I have been reflecting on the loss of a dear & long time friend now 3 months ago- froma sudden death. I was often able to pick up the phone & call him & talk things over at almost any time of day or night. I can't help buit reflect this is the first Christmas he won't be seeing. I do respect your controlled expression in this poem. You are trying to not burden others too much with your sorrow. Thank you for being so responsible, yet you more than said enough to make me & others, I believe feel right there alongside you in this time, as you sensitively & bravely share your heart & what weighs so heavilly on it. I hope the new year begins to shine with future hope & happiness on the horizon that you can move towards. Babs Dee -
