The snow is falling soft and slow,
Like even time knows when to go.
The garland’s hung, the lights all gleam,
But none of this feels close to me.

The room is dressed in ribboned grace,
But no one stops to fill the space.
I pour the wine, I hum along,
But something’s missing in the song.

Christmas, if you're listening,
Could you bring me something small?
A crooked tree, a quiet laugh,
A voice I love down the hall.
Just something real I didn’t stage,
Just slippers on a wooden floor.
Christmas, if you're listening,
That’s all I’m asking for.

Each ornament tells someone’s tale—
First love, first steps, a winter gale.
I trace the glass with careful hands,
And feel the space where no one wrote my name.

Gingerbread that’s over-baked,
A walk through snow without a plan.
A laugh too loud, a song off-key,
The kind of joy that sets you free.

Christmas, if you're listening,
Could you slow the spinning down?
No glittered streets, no perfect bows—
Just candlelight in quiet towns.
Not giving up, not letting go,
Just longing for a softer glow.
Christmas, if you're listening,
Please let the stillness show.

I built a life that looks like gold,
But some nights still feel strange and cold.
I’m not alone, but not quite whole…
I just want somewhere to be known.

Christmas, if you're listening,
Let the quiet in tonight.
A fire low, a window warm,
A breath that feels exactly right.
If joy still lives in simple things,
Like stories hung on fragile strings—
Christmas, if you're listening,
Then maybe,
You’re listening to me.
