In the stillness of night, the tree casts its height.
Adorned in hues, memories enthrall.
Fragrant crispy corn and chestnuts roasting everywhere.
But your absence is like a shadow hard to bear.

The fire crackles and twists light into the night.
Where the cloak of twilight softly embraces.
When night descends and the stars burn,
The tender strings of a heart break softly.

Mumbling elusive tales of dream flights that got away.
The world is dark, silent and fragile.
Wailing the ghosts of unspoken miseries.
In the peaceful night, shadows dance.

Every time he breathes, every emotion swells
The silent witness from above, the moon.
Carrying the sorrow, wept tears.
A glimmer of love is in this pragmatic silence.

M! The sound of dawn is at hand; amid the stillness.
Emotions are intertwined, the night's canvas draws tales untold.
Every heartbeat is a divine rhythm.
A symphony of emotions--bold, cold.
Thus let the night reveal its grace.

Embrace the solace it bestows .
Within this soundless, sacred space,
there dawn's a new day and hope blossoms.
But that warmth within, seems to slow down.
Memories of your laughter, you died this Christmas night.

Your absence, a feeling divided.
The stars twinkle, the snow falls silently.
In these halls, the sounds of love echoed.
Although you are distant, your spirit is near.

Without you, a sweet Christmas seems to have a bitter taste.
Each twinkling light has its own memory in store.
Catch the memories with your gentle presence.
For a souvenir on this nostalgic journey,
Without you.

Xmas yearns for the heart's plea.
Under the tree lies a heart-rending story of love.
Whether awarded or not, they should be flowing emotions.
A touching scene: Christmas without you.
