Christmas is nearing
I stay frozen, eyeing it
as if it’s a dreadful creature
crawling closer to get me…
It’s always been like this since you gone…
days of celebration
birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, New Year
All mutated into scary monsters
hiding in calendar corners,
waiting to inflict slow poison pain on me
Shopping, wrapping, singing, fellowship dinners
make no sense anymore…
Innocent to gallows
they all to me
I cringe with fear
Fear of fake smile plastered to my face
Fear of small talk that I cannot relate
When all I’m only possible of is
Heroin trance with complete silence
Fear of guilt that follows afterward
knowing it’s not their fault
that I cannot be happy without you
I am just fed up
they looking at me
as if I’m a failed terrorist
still adamant about a long forgotten ideology
Last Christmas
I was blessed enough
To forge a fight
To hide in the shadow of upset
Isn’t it lame to play the same trick twice in a row?
So this time?
Should I run away?
I knew I’d miss you of course…
But didn’t
that you’ll make me stumble this long…
Come back, I want to kill you…
