This Christmas

I have lived the silent nights
no brilliant conversations
no loving touches
joy shadowed
by grief

too many christmastimes
and new year's eves
empty of promises
hope deserted
my soul

christmas, again and again
years becoming decades
long decades of pain
and days of grief
dying inside

with trepidation I dreaded the most
wonderful time of the year
never wonderful for me
praying to endure
another holiday

this christmas my spirit knows freedom
my restless heart finally at peace
those I miss, those I don't
some forever lost
for the found

this christmas I have discovered at last
the strength to love myself
beyond deep wounds
to give all my love
to another

I'm happy this christmas knowing
a new year brings new joys
as old memories fade
to create space
for new ones

If you are writing from your perspective it is sad to know that you went through so much that I avoided so easily with my family always cheerful and warm this time of year. I sense from the way you ended this poem that you have finally found peace. That's wonderful.

I enjoyed this poem and the way it was written. Personally, I could skip Christmas altogether, and be perfectly happy not having to deal with the overkill and commercialization.
