(Written during the Christmastide of 2016. ‘Nuff said.)
Word Thingys: Salome Strangelove
How do we get through this Christmas
The Winter’s never seemed so cold
The snow is muddy, the ice is sharp
And I have never felt so old
How do we get through this Christmas
Our pockets and our hearts are broke
Still reeling from a harsh November
When hope itself went up in smoke
I have never had the answers
I have never known the way
I have always simply followed
Girl to girl and day by day
Year after year
Christmas after Christmas
How do we get through this Christmas
Where do we even go from here
Every step seems backward facing
Away from peace, away from cheer
How do we get through this Christmas
The trees are empty as the sky
You can feel the weight of sorrows
You can hear the desperate cries
I have never had the answers
I have never known the way
I have always simply followed
Girl to girl and day by day
Year after year
Christmas after Christmas
How do we get through this Christmas
It doesn’t even feel like Christmas
I have never had the answers
I have never known the way
But I am always here for you
Hanging out a light for you
To get you through this Christmas
And we’ll get through this Christmas
