The Ghosts of Christmas Eve




How much will be taken
before I’m left ..
empty ~

Strength lying formless in the dark
with strangled echoes of Christmases past;
the only joy in a child’s cursed existence
has now been brought to the mercy of
shadows that have been cast
from a light that slowly dims~

When every part of you feels shattered
how do you piece it back together?
It seems not enough for a heart to break-
memories tossed through a dull grey window of the mind-
of smiles and laughter
of happily ever after;
all just a girl’s hollowed wish for something more kind

And the Ghosts that haunt this night
feel no remorse or shame
they dance within the light
of fate’s regret and blame


The battle to stay the pain is lost
and a weary soul has paid the cost
stained in rain
and suffered to feel the same again

every

Christmas

Eve ...
