Description: A poem about how it feels to be all alone on the holidays.
Alone on the Holidays -------------------------------------------
You’re sitting there alone the holidays are here
This really has to be the worst time of the year
It all seems so pointless when you’re all alone
Just sitting and thinking about it chills me to the bone
No one seems to understand just how bad it can be
Going through the holidays without a family
You hate to interfere with the plans of your friends
They have their own families that is where that ends
So you sit alone and think about your life
How it used to be with your children and your wife
All of the good times are memories of the past
Who would’ve thought the good times wouldn’t last
Everybody telling you what a good time they had
Hearing all about that really makes you sad
So you sit alone and cry a few more tears
As you sit and remember all of the past years
When your house was filled with laughter and cheer
You wonder if you’ll make it through another year
But at this point you don’t care, you have no way to know
You really don’t want to stay but you don’t want to go
It’s hard to be all by yourself through the holidays
It’s such a heavy burden on your heart it weighs
It’s like a block of concrete has been placed upon your chest
Everything just went to hell even though you tried your best
This is supposed to be the time when everything is good
But your life isn’t like that you wish you understood
You wish you understood why you have to be alone
And for just what sins they feel you must atone
It’s just so depressing when no one is around
Everything’s so quiet there’s not a single sound
No sounds of children’s laughter ringing in your ears
Being alone on the holidays is one of your biggest fears
But you are all alone this you know is true
You try to figure out just what can you do
Just what can you do to make everything good?
You just want to fix it…. if only you could
