Christmas Tree

He decorated his tree 🌲 

His favorite Christmas Tree

He bought it fresh and new

As per tradition of each year

He had plans to do it better…

Than the every other past year

He left her alone to buy on his own 

For she mattered not much to him

He had turned his emotions to stone

And become vindictive to the bone

Just because she had her desires 

Just like every other girl that aspires 

He understood her not

He heard her voice not

His ears were deaf to her tone 

And eyes blinded with dislikes overgrown 

He bought the ornaments a plenty 

To adorn the tree with her, no one was ready 

His kith and kin all conspired 

Of her well being not ever enquired 

She sat to hang the trinkets and tinsels 

The stars🌟 the lights and christingles 

He was satisfied or not

He expressed it not

For the distance and depression was obvious 

Yet she continued holding some hope 

The 🌲 tree of hope might grow taller 

But he turned stingy with dime and dollar 

The Christmas wasn’t as wished by both 

Yet here they are

He with his own new tree

And she with her own old tree 

For she chose her peace to stay in her piece 

She placed no gifts for him under her tree 

He placed no gifts for her under his tree

Deep within both hoped they could alter the distance 

And have their own, very own Christmas Tree 

The one they could adorn and embellish together 

And place the gifts for each other

They wished to become the Santa for each other 

And gift abundant joys in their lives 

They wished their Christmas tree to be abundant 

The tree of hope in time of despair 

The tree of joys in time of sorrow 

The tree of life shooting buds of life

The tree that will be in their own house
