Christmas poem.. cuz why not 👀

I wrote this since my christmas eve felt more dead than before, which reaaallly sucks. I swear- when i was younger everything felt more alive or colorful.. now its all grey and stuff, just like outside (there's no snow. Sure it snowed back in November but the stupid rain annd temperature melted it all away).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Christmas:

time of distraction

from the cruelty of winter

Candles were lit

when you were here.

Yet now that you're gone,

they've all blown out.

There's no warmth anymore.

Carols were sung

when you were here.

But now that you're gone,

everything has fallen into a terrible silence.

There's no distraction anymore.

Lights flickered everywhere

when you were here.

But now that you're gone,

every corner has gone dark.

There are no lights anymore.

What can you even call such a holiday?

when you're not with us?

Me and them.
