Black Snowfall

Lights strung up like veins in the dark. Flicker once, twice,

then tear apart. Silent night but it screams in my head. Dreams of sugar

plums now dreams of dread. Black snowfall, falling slow. Covers the earth,

nowhere to go. Black snowfall, cold as stone. This holiday feels

so alone. Trees stripped bare, shadows grow. Ghosts of joy in the wind,

they blow. Candle wax drips like blood on the floor.

Holly's thorns pierce, can't take anymore. Well, what's the cheer? Where's the peace?

Every gift feels like a leash. Black snowfall, falling slow.
