The light in my eyes like fairy lights,

has gone away out of sight.

No sudden thrill,just a long pause,

Of the no longer present Santa clause.

Putting up the angel,without dads hand,

The feeling of growing without a plan.

The tinssel still sparkles,but not like before,

The magic is gone a little more.

The milk and cookies left out at night,

The tree still shining just as bright.

But the milk’s gone sour, cookies dry,

I lay down to sleep with a saddened sigh.

Back to school nearing,

Misery now searing,

Lights turned

off.
