The cold festive wind blew; Laughters, hollers of "Merry Christmas!" Came along with the breeze. Children, with their little toy drums Bang, bang, banging away; Choruses of "Gloria In Excelsis Deo"; Pine trees, Snow flakes, deformed Snowmen;
Houses are lined with Blink, blink, blinking Colorful lights and wreaths; Somwhere among them, in some living room, "All I Want For Christmas" is on loop; Cookies are laid for Santa Claus; Presents are stacked Under the Christmas tree-- With garlands and ***** And--
The Christmas lights In a room in the middle of a second storey house, Were shining as brightly as they could, Being wrapped around the neck Of a teenager misunderstood, Hanging lifeless on the ceiling With a note pinned that read, "Happy Christmas from the dead."
A classmate of mine just died yesterday. I don't know how to look at this coming Christmas positively, anymore. Sorry.
