I Can Only Hope

"I Can Only Hope"
~ ~ ~
~
This time of year
Is so hard on me
Angry at myself
Not feeling free
~
Angry at myself
Since I feel so sad
Dwelling on the things
I believed I had
~
See the people laughing
They smile, I smile
Feeling so empty
Looking on presents
In piles
~
Gifts given of love
Given in heart
And all I feel
Is torn apart
~
I can only hope
As I hear them laugh
As I want to cry
~
I can only hope
That every part of love
Is not a lie
