Composition 114

Steady white Christmas lights…

You thought they were lonely…

Putting your heart more to sleep…

The night deepens…

I told you about my longings…

Steady white Christmas lights…

Illuminating the room

In which we seat face to face…

For us to see…

You held my hand…

I, the willful passive…

You, the wounded warrior…

Steady white Christmas lights…

Reflecting our sorrows

And longing…

Of hopes diminished…

You drew me closer…

Steady white Christmas lights…

I close my eyes and taste your sweetness

Of the lies that finally we are found…

Of warmth, gone too soon…

Steady white Christmas lights…

You thought they were lonely…

And all were left were memories…

Of you and me…
