A shovel for Christmas
The crisp winter air is blowing, it cuts me like a knife The trees that have lost their leaves look like they've also lost their lives The skies are grey all Goddamn day, the wind just sounds like sighs The leaves were hastily blown away, no time to exchange goodbyes If you check the naughty list, I guess you'll find my name I haven't been good and that's my fault so I guess I can't complain I guess that's why on Christmas morning everything looks the same Just one stalking hung from the mantle this year and your empty picture frame Heavy hangs the head that last night wore the crown I thought I saw Santa smiling at me but it turns out it was a frown My hope for happiness are like the snow- slowly falling to the ground I was alone when I put my decorations up, I'll be alone when I take them down So bartender pour me a drink, better make it a double My heart finally stopped beating, I think I'm in trouble Every time I think I've hit bottom someone throws me a shovel This is going to be the worst Christmas of allA shovel for Christmas

- This is really great!! The rhyming really keeps ur eyes moving smoothly thru it, and I could definitely understand the sadness from the words. Great work!
