Christmas

I wished for a cold, clear, frosty day
But now the sunshine melts my dreams away.

I wished for skies bright and blue.
But the clouds are in the way
Of my memories of you

I wished for presents underneath
The Christmas tree
But they will never be.
As empty
As your love for me.

I wished for a smile to chance upon my face
But I realize I miss your warm embrace
The one that never occurred.
And yet the one nothing can replace.

I wished for a place
Inside your heart
For you had one in mine long ago
But now there is empty space
Holding
Us apart
And I know

I wished you would feel the same
But it seems harsh truth
Iced over my fragile flame

I wished you came
To lighten up this freezing day
I wished I had someone else to blame
Someone to take all the tears away

And I know that it is now the day
To give
But I know I will get nothing.
In return.

And I wish I could find the strength to say
I cannot live
Without your love.

And that without your touch
My icy heart
Will always burn.
