I am an old can, expired way past my open date
Fresh is not a word I would use to describe me or my pain
Maybe blunt or numbing or agonizing
Could be a part of my new recipe for life, for living
You see, this old can, has been in the same shelf for last few months and today out of all the **** days out of a year
She decides to open me up
I'm sour, ugly rotten inside til my core my juices; they clump when she began to pour me out
No doubt, I was ready six months ago or maybe even 2019
But now, she can't even enjoy my the sweetness of my whole, golden, buttery flavored goodness
Tosses me like nobody's business,
And yells, "we out of corn"
****! I was happier in the back, with
The spam

Sitting, looking out the window,
only me and the darkness
waiting on the Christmas sun.

Wondering what is next to do –
the sun doesn’t fix the solitude.
Maybe I will just go out and run.

Run forever, until I find
the mystery at the edge of the earth,
keep running ‘til I’m done.
Christmas marks the turning of years
the sparkle on this one is made with tears!
Better things to come for everyone I hope ***

Being in love with someone
who's in love with someone else
and it's Christmas
...
the best time of the year
nightmare looks alike

I'm tired
of expecting something
then seeing it shattered right there
over and over
like an endless cycle
of hope and despair

my heart drains,
leaves no water behind,
my arid heart,
my love so dry,
someone please water it,
my body remains,
just a dry soul,
that my heart drains

You are the beautiful green leaves
that shimmer in the breeze, the stunningly
bright mountains that stand high in the distance.  
You are the sun of life that never fades away,
the endless rivers that flow to the furthest
lands of serenity.  You are a constellation
of timeless songs that never end, a self-love
poem that resonates with your amazing heart.
