holidays

I stomp out flames roasting chestnuts over a once open fire,

Hang wreaths of the present over mantels of the past,

Then decide bare is a better reminder

Restless dreams of familial warmth frozen in the cold night air, faces rigid and cracked from laughter of holidays past,

Memories that couldn't last

Cider clings to a mug of hope slowly evaporating into the air

There's no one there, the room is empty

Windows slick with winters chill, another season of broken promises is here

The holidays remain a friend I'd like to forget, a lovers kiss my lips can't help but miss

Sometimes, most times I'd rather not celebrate

The breaking of my spirit
