Lost of Excitement

Leaves change
Colors in the Fall
Autumn was here
And the leaves
They fall
Winter approached
My father's health
Rapidly declined
On December 21st
He left my mother and I
Behind
He goes
To a peaceful home
As I....
Stay in this miserable hell
Christmas came
And then it gone
I can't remember
If anyone
Greeted me at all
Sitting and thinking
No longer Christmas
Excites me
Like a child
And New Year's came
People's excitement rose
But to me
Watching the ball
Fall
Was painful memories
After I saw
The greatest man in my life
Fall
Not to a new year
But to a six letter word
Cancer
Happy New Year
