Alone In December Poem by James Anthony Creamer

In this sweet, lonely December
I try not to remember
The things that make me cry
While I keep my eyes dry

The cold's stinging embrace
Has chapped and scarred my face
But I will wait here forever
Just waiting for you to turn that corner

It's been three years since your choice
And I can still hear your voice
Saying that you won't leave me
But that was never to be

My face is frozen in a smile
I haven't felt in awhile
The things I felt by your side
Maybe I'll take my final ride
Down to the man who dresses in red
And ask him if he has a fluffy bed

If you came back now
I don't think I could still vow
To keep you in my heart
Because you tore it apart

All the pieces are scattered to the wind
And I can't make it around the bend
In this road of life I walk
In this road of life I stalk

Your love had keep my alive
In that time I was alone
You helped my thrive
When the world was in the twilight zone

Now you make my eyes water
And I can't love you any farther
Thinking of you makes my bones ache
So much that I want to rake
Them from my skin
And put it to an end

So I walk this lonely road
In this cold season
And I pray for snow
So that no one will ever know
That I disappeared tonight
