For the holidays, we exchanged metaphors
You recieved a chinese latern
And I a snow globe
Your lantern did not light
Looked full but only held a space of nothingness
My snow globe did not disturb settled fake snow
There was no magic in my winter wonderland
We laughed because we both knew
Our thoughtless gifts held much more meaning then intended
For the holidays, we exchanged metaphors for the love we shared
(Or lack there of)
