Once Upon a December

Once Upon a December

A Poem by Alex P.
"

Memories are hard to get rid of. They sneak up on you and cling tight, when all you want to do is let go.

"

Aging memories

Tear me up inside

I thought I was done with this

I thought I could hide

 

The first breath of snow,

Christmas’ twinkling lights

All help me to recall

Of our last big, terrible fight

 

I find myself remembering,

Thinking of you,

Knowing I shouldn’t,

But I do,

Wonder if you think about it too?

 

The pain is dull,

But it has not gone

I don’t think it ever fully will

The memory of your betrayal

Still a bitter pill

 

I laugh at nothing now,

And smile now more than last year,

But even still I can’t help but wonder

Does it still hurt you too, dear?
