All I want...

_______________

I fall apart

with all my heart

with every flake

that falls so near.

The music plays

special Christmas

mp3s I can hardly

stand to hear.

Your pictures call

out to me from my phone

reminding me of a time

when I wasn't so alone.

It's feeling like just

any old month

there's no spring in

my step, and I can no

longer count the many

times I've wept.

I should be with you

not here, lonely

in this tomb of a bed

with thoughts of our

years of friendship

swirling around

in my head.

I can hear the

carolers down the

street on our block

singing Silent Night

and Jingle Bell Rock.

I want to be happy

but without you it's

not Christmas

how can I express

the depth of how I

miss you so very much?

Our friendship has lasted

over 20 years and yeah

we've had bad times, and

even tears but our bonds

always been so strong

it's hard to believe it's

really completely gone.

It's funny how the song

always says, "All I want for

Christmas is you" but now

I understand how it can

be so true.
