Christmas Eve

 

The lonely feeling of coming home

On Christmas Eve

Knowing that no one is waiting for me

Knowing when I return home

It will be empty and cold without cheer

There will be no one here on Christmas day

To help open the colorful boxes

I will cook Christmas dinner for one

Later I will watch a movie

That I have watched so many times before

Falling asleep on the couch

Dreaming of the times we shared

When I awake, the sun has gone down

And the room is dark

I slowly walk back to my bed

I will lie there thinking

Of Christmas past and try to sleep

With this sinking feeling in my chest

And a tear in my eyes

 

Merry Christmas to All
