'Tis The Season To Be Lonely

 

Christmas to me does seem to be the worst

For it is now that I feel the loneliness begin.

Everyone is laughing and having lots of fun,

Going home to loved ones and filled with cheer.

This year was a hard one for me to go through

As not only are we losing our home

But I am leaving my husband too.

No more pain, destruction, and fights will I hear

Just silence and peace in my small little home.

My dear friends do not live close

But are a phone call away.

So for me I will sit in quiet contemplation

For hopes that next Christmas I will be there.

      Yes dear I know you're always there but I guess somethings can't always be talked about and you know me. But I know where to find you when I really need you and I know I can count on you.

    I hope your next years Xmas goes better dear, I can't say I did anything. It's not a common celebrated Holiday in Japan I actually spent the day at school and work.

    sad...

    Your poem makes me feel sad my friend! Lonliness is bad enough at any time of year... at Christmas it can seem unbearable! Good luck in the contest!

      Thanks my friend. It is good to have you back. Just seems to help the hurt if I write about it.

    I am in almost the same position as yourself after 43 years of marriage and am alone tonight wondering where my life went and how I allowed it to go on so long. Next year will be easier for you I hope, maybe for me too. I hope you get some relief by writing out your hopes, fears and pain because it is surprising how many are always stood where you are in life too. Good luck.

      Thanks my dear niece. I know you understand how I feel. I do wish I was a few other places except here.
