Scaring children

Has gotten old

And the story of my Christmas

Has been told

Suffocating once again

In routine

With only Zero to intervene

In what may soon be

My second murder

A lack of joy

And a silence of adventure

What did I do

To cause this?

Will I ever know

What I did miss?

To say goodbye

When I said I'd stay

Was the mistake

that drew her away

Were she here

I'd not be bored

But since she's not around

Boredom is my ward.
