Presents.

Thank you, but please take back 

the heavy scent of cologne you 

brushed between my bed sheets,

impregnating it's worth and value.

Please take back the books, the post cards,

the expensive jewelry and the hand written 

love letter you gave to me that made your eyes

open up so wide I could see the whole universe.

Ungracious of me to say it, but the gifts that were

given, were just a disturbance, each gift held a lie.

Ungracious of me to say it, but wherever I move in 

this room, it is not the gifts I see but your absence 

that accumulates them like tiny dust particles.  

Forgive me, your intentions were beyond great, but I don't

need them as presents.

A sensible and kind way to depict the feeling of separation. Thanks for sharing.

Are you missing someone this Christmas?

[Lilaa]

Something like that :P

[Lox]

You don't need his/her presents because they remind you of his/her absence? Does he/she not stay for Christmas?

[Lilaa]

Exactly that, I don't need him nor his presents.. Also, I'm spending Christmas alone, going to break my teeth opening bottles of alcohol and kiss every boy i can possible kiss.

Alone? Stay safe.
