Summary: A poem written by Agent K on Christmas Eve.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters I only own the changes made to the classic poem.
A/N: I wrote a poem about how I feel on Christmas Eve every year and it inspired me to tweak it and expand it to fit K. The pain and sadness depicted in this poem is exactly how I've felt every Christmas Eve since I was eleven. I don't remember exactly what happened that made me feel this way every year, but my subconscious must be associating Christmas Eve with something bad and I have yet to figure out what that something is. But anyway, on with the poem!
'Twas the night before Christmas
And under the sky
Not a creature was stirring
Except for this spy
My name is Karen Daring
I live in Pleasant Hills
But I cannot sleep
For I have tears to spill
But worry not
To my life, I'm not a threat
It's just that every Christmas Eve
My pillow gets wet
It's become a tradition
Soaking my pillow in tears
It's been this way for a while
For many, many years
I look to my right
Where my husband is sleeping
My husband, Dick Daring,
Cannot hear me weeping
It's really not fun
Lying awake in bed
So I decide to get up
I need to clear my head
I check on my daughter
Riley is her name
She's sleeping soundly
Showing no signs of pain
Next, I open Todd's door
I peek in on my son
He's asleep too
Probably dreaming of fun
I go out to the garage
And with tears in my eyes
I look at the C.A.R
That made me the envy of the other spies
Even though he wonders
Why I'm Dick Daring's wife
Whenever I need him
He always comes to life
Tonight is not different
As I sit in his front seat
He tries to soothe the depression
That he swears I can beat
C.A.R speaks calming words
But the pain doesn't leave
This happens to me
Every Christmas Eve
After about an hour
I go back to my room
I get back in bed
It'll be morning soon
My husband wakes and sees me crying
And looks at me with concern
This is something about me
I never wanted him to learn
He puts his arms around me
And lets me cry it out
He knows it's something
I don't want to talk about
I always cry on Christmas Eve
But even as Dick's shirt gets wetter
I know in my heart
That tomorrow will be better
A/N: I didn't mean for it to run that long, but oh well. It gets the story across. And it actually made me feel a little better, I should write when I'm depressed more often. Anyway, Merry Christmas everybody!
