THINKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS
by Paul Curtis I'm sitting here in dread Memories of you filling my head Sitting here so totally alone Afraid of Christmas on my own It was always you and me Doing Christmas so merrily Then you had to go and die Leaving me with no goodbye Losing you was such a blow I know you didn't choose to go But I'm the one that's left I'm the one lonely and bereft And for that simple reason I close the curtains on the season I will make my Christmas solitary And not have to try to be merry And I will avoid the usual jollity All our friends and their frivolity I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
