Holidays Were Never Mine

Those Christmas lights and festive season
Were never mine to enjoy.

The 90s movies and the love songs
The holiday music
The lyrics of my favorite poet
Oh! how I try to be furthest away from every bit of it!
Every bit, that makes this heart heavier
Colder and lonelier.
I let the merriness pass
Somewhere in a cold quiet room, like it never happened to me.

The holidays were never mine.
I do not want to feel. 
What I never had.
