Mile End 1812

Scrooge I am
Lovers cold and lost
In forest frost
Paintings chipped
Slippers of golden illusions

I feast on
Yesterdays dreams
With turkey and sour ice cream
Maid so overpaid
 
I beg of you
Whoever you are
Where are my ghosts?
Three was it not?
Happiness a Christmas knot
Around my throat
 
None
None at all
No Ghosts for me
Nether meanders the illusive suffering
Notorious angels have no care
 
Crawling along
I gasp for air

They will come in a form that is familiar and you will not notice. Any errors in judgement might just bring an heir.
