here's a December to forget  
full of lost chances and regret  
the sleepless nights you spent awake  
the call to Mom you didn't make

the winter solstice closing in  
weighing the wages of your sin  
the present that you bought yourself  
your best laid plans, still on the shelf

the Christmas lights, their sterile shine  
ubiquitous, the smell of pine  
the smile you chose not to return  
the candle doing its slow burn

here's a December to forget  
December, is it over yet  
now time to put on a brave face  
the year is gone, without a trace
