Holiday Heartache Keep Me Blue

Once upon a Christmas Time I was happy you were mine Now this holiday is sad Thinking of the love we had That you threw away like trash Making me fall hard and crash Breaking me from outside in How do I start to begin Unwrapping the pain you left Leaving me with no regret The bows of love that made me smile Are shredded ribbons in a pile The paper signed with both our names Is now burning in the flames The present of my love each year Was torn open with hate, not care I was the star that tried to shine And sparkle when you were mine Stringing popcorn all night long Until my love you strung along Songs of joy and laughter sung Till your voice of lying stung Snowmen built up from the ground Like our life till it fell down Hot chocolate with marshmallows Can't keep me warm from the cold That froze my heart into ice Now nothing can crack or slice It back to a hot beating rhythm My mind can no longer fathom It melting ever again I am giving up on men

This is very creative and unique! I like the way you take these things we treasure at Christmastime, and turn them into memories we want to forget. Sometimes, life just turns out that way. Hopefully, these bad memories will fade away, and good ones will find you!
