Steaming tears fall
Across cool cheeks
Heart aching
As my thoughts
Spiral unprompted
Into the abyss
That comes again
To haunt me with
This merriest of seasons
Which seems to bring
Those all around
A joyful anticipation
But instead
Brings me
Painful memories
Of years past
Of surgeries
Of scars
Of hurt
Of sorrow
Leaving me
Forcing a smile
As I wish you
Peace and joy
While there seems
None left
For me
