A Christmas Poem
A lone voice whispers
Here I am
All alone again
On the eve of my birthday
Still looking for an unspoken reason
Why life keeps deceiving
Are you all still lost in strange places
Past Golgotha
Overflowing with mistakes
Why do some of you always hurt the ones you love
Is there no room
For give and take
Are you lost to me forever
No matter how much your heartaches
Can I just say these words
Even though
The silence grows between us
In a new world slowly devoid of prayer
Beyond the mean words
You throw
Why do some of you hurt the ones
You should love so much
When you judge
