Dressed in Holiday Glitz, Bearing Unspoken Loss

One could wish for Christmas,

To celebrate with family.

If only you had left me with mine.

Alas, I was cut down to fit your needs,

Adorning me with tinsel and lights.

Chaotic ornaments weighing down my branches.

It’s to make your holiday perfect.

Did you ever think of my everlasting fate?

Christmas lasts but one day.

My kind is being destroyed for what?

A fleeting moment of gifts and cheer.

Good luck with your future holiday.

Gone, my tree family will be. I promise you.

Hopefully, this reads reads forward and backwards as that was my goal.
