Alone... I Walk

by HarryT

Alone I walk into the winter bite
Stars silvering cast a frosty light
Cold wind blowing, collar up high
My life hollow since your good-bye
Alone I walk, this Christmas night

Breaths prance like ghostly sprites
Lights peek from under blankets white
Houses glow softly in the darken cold
Alone I walk

Snowflakes swirl in sallow moonlight
Fireplace flames dance on windows' iced
Tears frozen where you kissed my cheek
My heart in such pain that I want to shriek
Lovers at home share Christmas delights
Alone...I walk
