A Christmas Melancholy

Merry and bright Christmas night
Festive breeze and a candlelight

I hear cheers, the season's song

Why the lonely night seems so long

 

Presents laid under the tree

Colorful, dazzling but free

Just like how I am feeling

Deep inside, I am yearning

 

The stars may shine as bright as day

The laughter may be heard loud and gay

But my heart is heavy 

Hurt and gleam with envy

 

Frozen streets covered in snow

Pretty to see but sad to know
All is lost in me who fail to see

The beauty of it all, but I couldn't agree
