Christmas makes me cry
Need I tell you why
I miss her like wine
we aged over time
to drink when we dined
at Christmas
I miss her like light
vast starscape at night
She made my life bright
at Christmas
I used to believe
you spent Christmas Eve
with a lover
a partner
a friend
but this year I’ve learned
Christmas candles won’t burn
You discover
you’re lonely
again
I miss her like air
see her everywhere
although she’s not there
at Christmas
Christmas makes me cry
Need I tell you why
