Come Christmas

Christmas makes me stop and wonder where you are
Just like every other day I’ve seen so far
To make-believe this Christmas Eve
That you’ll come home
No more to roam
Is madness I can’t let myself go near
'Tis the season now that always gives me pause
And not because I don’t believe in Santa Claus
Ornaments and stockings hung without much care
If you’re out there
It’s just a way to end another year
Come Christmas day
Hope you’re okay
Come Christmas night
Hope you’re alright
Not knowing is the hardest part of all
To deck these halls with holly bows and mistletoe
Seems so much in denial of the truth we know
You’ve hurt yourself in ways that can’t be understood
It can’t feel good
Pray tell, explain why this might bring good cheer
Can I just say I wish that you were here?
Come Christmas day
Hope you’re okay
Come Christmas night
Hope you’re alright
Not knowing is the hardest part of all
