Last Christmas

Christmas is supposed to be a festive holiday
A time where friends and loved ones gather together
Yet last Christmas, all I wanted was to escape
And find my inner peace so that I don’t have to remember.

Christmas is supposed to be a time for family
Yet last Christmas was spent alone with my mother
Our family is broken; it was absolute agony
The hardship was purposely caused by my own father.

Last Christmas was spent praying for better times to come
We put our faith and destiny in God’s hands
I wished with all my heart for us to reach the light at the end of the tunnel
 Perhaps once we pass this nightmare, I’ll then understand.

Betrayal is terrible, yet it’s pure torment when done by your own kin
The person who was supposed to be your unconditional protector
My one wish last Christmas was that he’d pay for his sin
And that the life of my mother and I will be better.

Oh, silly little fool
If only you knew
That things would only go from bad to worse
Yet, I keep my faith in God that something will come out of this
I have no other options but to let life play out
I just hope we’ll make it out in one piece…
