THINKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS

I’m sitting here in dread

Memories of you filling my head

Sitting here so totally alone

Afraid of Christmas on my own

It was always you and me

Doing Christmas so merrily

Then you had to go and die

Leaving me with no goodbye

Losing you was such a blow

I know you didn’t choose to go

But I’m the one that’s left

I’m the one lonely and bereft

And for that simple reason

I close the curtains on the season

I will make my Christmas solitary

And not have to try to be merry

And I will avoid the usual jollity

All our friends and their frivolity
