Christmas Without You

my first Christmas
Christmas without you
moments of excitement
moments of feeling blue

thoughts of those spent together
and love that we once shared
once tied with pretty ribbon
now my heart stripped bare

did you think about it?
Christmas morning, laying alone
wondering what I was doing
or are your feelings dead and gone

as I unwrapped my gifts
with those here close to me
thoughts wandering once again
to things I did not see

I know I will survive
as I file it all away
substantial things you lost
taken for granted everyday

forgiveness will not come
destruction massive and deep
at least not this first Christmas
that you're not here with me
