A LOCK DOWN CHRISTMAS

 1.

I need more than

jingle bells,

Mistletoe love stories

And Christmas trees

To get me festive this year

I didn’t realize

I would miss

Hearing Christmas carols playing on the road



2.

12:03, 26th December

Christmas came too early

Left too soon

There wasn’t enough time

To get lost in the festivities

5:33, 30th December

I used to rush into the new year

Because I was done celebrating December

But I’ve been crawling my way through the year

Hoping to find some relief

In my Christmas belief

Now I’m just waiting out my days


3.

Is it just me,

Or has the entire year

Dulled the joy of December?

1: 07am, 1st January

I don’t want to sleep today

I’m afraid I’ll wake up

And the new year will drag me in

Before I’m ready to take it on

Blurry videos of fireworks all over

It was enough to see them with my own eyes

There will always be something we’re unable to preserve

Some moments are better off lived once
