One Sad Christmas Again

Listen to poem:
as CHRISTMAS approaches I am full of e b o n y woe, for all my heart longs for is her smile so bright- her death so sudden, so hard to let go, as CHRISTMAS approaches I am full of e b o n y woe. I had dreams of more kisses under the mistletoe, now I am blinded by her death’s site. as CHRISTMAS approaches I am full of e b o n y woe- for all my heart longs for is her smile so b r i g h t. this time of year is the h a r d e s t to deal, when the ivory dove flies I think of her death- I don’t think this pain will ever heal, this time of year, is the h a r d e s t to deal. I think of her hazel eyes with a tint of teal, and how they stayed open after her final breath- this time of year, is the h a r d e s t to deal, when the ivory dove flies I think of her d e a t h. I am a woman of a n g u i s h and torment combined, someone who craves her laughter opening presents- joy during CHRISTMAS I never shall find, I am a woman of a n g u i s h and torment combined. I sit and think how her sanity was entwined, and how she never really understood her essence. I am a woman of a n g u i s h and torment combined- someone who craves her laughter opening p r e s e n t s. It's Christmas Time Again Contest Sponsor, Broken Wings November 30th, 2017
