Twelve Days to Christmas - Days 7 and 8
Christmas time is here
Filled with joy and fear
Some are spurned
But some are not
Hey it’s something we can cheer
Ignorance ev’rywhere
Leaving us to care
Wish we all
Had someone who’d
be an answer to our prayer
She’s really not a girl
He’s really not a boy
Just to be seen as who we are
Would be the greatest joy….
Christmas time is here
With some growing hope, my dear
Some are loved
And more each day
Giving us some well-earned cheer
I really can't stay (sorry, it's cold inside)
I've got to go way (sorry, it's cold inside)
The evening has been (I've been hoping you would)
So cold and sad (I'll watch you walk away)
Mommy doesn’t worry (here’s your coat, what's your hurry)
And Daddy will worries less (I agree I confess)
So really, I'd better leave (good decision I believe)
Well what’s left to say (here let me get the door)
Really don’t wanna go (You mind if I back away?)
What else can I do (sorry bro…’sis’ just won’t do)
I really can’t stay (don't let me keep you)
Since it's warmer outside
Comments
warmer outside
oh my god that just rips my heart out, to think that it would be warmer outside
in the snow than to stay inside with a family that doesn't give any love.
not pretty, but so powerful it was worthy of lou reed's BERLIN album.
(and baby it's cold outside by ray charles + betty carter is my favorite)
are you okay, drea? you sound totally fucking depressed.
if it's any help, know that i love you...

(and it's all good, literarily; nobody's obligated to be "up" all the time...)
We now return to our regular programming:

Dearest 'Drea,
Let me give you a big hug,
XXXXXXXXXX
