And it is Christmas
I woke up alone
The Chill in the air
The silence of the room
I looked around
I miss you
The Seasons roll on
The Winter Solstice
Has come and gone
The longest night of the year
The longest year of my life
You are not here
You are not gone
I visit you often
There is no one at home
I stare into your eyes
I want you to know
No matter where you are
Or where you go
You do not have to remember
I have not forgotten
I am strong enough to carry
The burdens you have dropped
Until that day comes
That it doesn't matter
Anymore.
