John Loving Iii Poet Quatrain

My Saddest Christmas Ever

my saddest christmas ever
has'nt came to be
but in a very few days
it will happen to me

the presents i thought of
will never be bought
the gifts and decorations
have all come to naught

the love i wished to happen
won't happen this christmas day
because the one i loved the most
has sadly passed away

so i have yet to greive
on that wonderful occasion
no one will love me
with such dedication

my heart has need to give
that special kind of love
but with no one to give it to
my heart it seems stopped up

i can only imagin
the fun we would have shared
exchanging our silly presents
showing how much we cared

going out shopping
will be a lonely task
there won't be anyone there
for me to share romance

but still i'll spend this christmas
with her on my mind
i wish she were here
we would have had a good time

so this will surely be
my saddest christmas ever
will my saddness ever leave
my heart keeps saying never

Poet Destroyer A December 8, 2010 at 8:07 AM Well, John if you ever read my letter to Santa, you would feel my pain. I really am not a scrooge, but~ bah humbug...lolI have no x- mass spirit right now,, I try not to anyways.. I don't know why it is gone, but it is. maybe it will hit when i realize x mass can get worst. SO, instead of healing when i got what i wanted for x- mass, i got withdrawn.. ,, enjoyed,..p.d.

I sense the sadness, lonliness, dread and angst in having to spend your first season of joy without your recently passed love. You truly touched my heart with this sensational and will written rhyme. Good luck with your holiday and God bless. Joe

Iolanda Scripca November 19, 2010 at 6:24 PM I feel for you deeply. So sorry about your loss. My dad passed away during the Holidays and the shadows of sadness never vanish during these days. You need to think of the good times you had together and to know that one day you'll be together again in spirit. All the best, Iolanda

Phyllis Babcock November 19, 2010 at 6:51 AM I feel your sadness on this poem John, Christmas is always a sad season for me and I don't know why. I think exhaustion from retail. We work ourselves to hard. April would want you to go on with life and go out shopping and do the things you did. I know it is hard to find comfort in words but lots of us here do care. Phyl
