What I Didn’t Want For Christmas

As I saw my hero revealed…

His clothing had no wrinkles

Every stitch on his suit placed perfectly

I never imagined him so smooth and still

His powerful eyes sealed and darkened

His contagious laugh silenced and gone

I’d pull any strings to have him fixed

He’s just a figure in a box now

Who has become too unreal to handle…
