Merry Xmas

We're all cardboard cutouts with
post-it note promises.
Our faces, they change
occasionally,
and our voices became
digital and monotonous:
one male, one female.

But we still sing
alone in the car
as the memories
claw
at the door.
And these keys
don't feel the same
when the vibrations
stall
on the floor.

Your ex-lover's a stray with
throat drought-ridden.
Her allegiances change
arbitrarily,
and her body's undressed
regardless of honor or truth.
One kiss by sunset…

But we still sing
alone in the dark
as the memories
cling
to the walls.
And these sheets
don't feel the same
when your blood
pours
out the halls.
