After the gifts have been unwrapped,
the stockings emptied,
the ham torn off the bone and
the cookies frosted and bit,
family have left with all their toys and
the world is silent.
Too silent and too weird,
I'm missing you.
I had some laughs, giggling at my cousin
as he tried to open a box filled with toilet paper
instead of packing peanuts.
My heels clicked on the tile floor
as we served up a delicious meal,
but I only wished to share it with you.
Too lonely under the blinking holiday lights,
I'm missing you.
I know it will be soon, once the clock strikes 7
when after the sun sets again,
a knock will come and I will answer,
an eager puppy wagging her tail,
ready to pounce on
you alone.
As I snuggle into bed,
I am ready for you.
