Christmas Lie

Before Christmas,
     His words flew like shoppers on a three-day-sale.
     Growing flowers on my mind, 
     He said he will give me a card,
     A red rose for his flaming love,
     And a Christmas date for the both of us.

On Christmas,
     His words came like presents wrapped with glitters,
     Too shiny for a mere man to make.
     As its cover was torn, 
     The inside struck like a sharp blade.
     My heart bleed when I saw the empty space.
