Tis the Season... 12.20.14
Somber, long, emotional weekend,
Christmastime is near.
Another holiday coming without you, more time without you here.
Emotions are high, swirling around,
Going up off of the charts.
We'll try very hard to remember the good,
Fearing so greatly the pain in our hearts.
Memories don't stop, not for a second,
Harder and harder by the minute.
Just want to stop, cancel this Christmas,
It wouldn't be right, for anyone if we just didn't.
Anxieties are high, out of control,
Have to make it through but not knowing how.
Want the pain to end, please just go away,
No matter our fight or sadness and tears,
Not going to happen, definitely not now.
Crying from the children seemingly out of nowhere,
Consoling them doesn't happen no way to make it better.
Need to help them through while figuring out for myself,
Can't promise them anything, not even how to weather.
Burnt out on fakeness, pretending all's well
Do we lie to ourselves and everyone else,
Keep playing the game we've all come to know,
Hide the rawness and anger, put it up on a shelf.
