#6 Five Minutes of December

(Josie Sayz: Poem number six from my ‘Rollercoaster Rainbow’ anthology. It's my Christmasy poem and came straight from the heart.)

It’s the time of year
For cheer and happiness.
But for some reason our lives
Are filled with stress.
Everybody is cosy,
Happy together.
But since I last saw you,
It feels like forever.
It’s all I want.
It’s all I need.
For you to spend
Five minutes…
Five minutes with me.
To hold my hand.
To hug me tight.
Five minutes of December,
With you tonight.
Everyone’s busy decorating
With trees and reindeer.
And they’re looking forward
To the New Year.
They’re all visiting family
And wrapping festive presents,
While we’re both stuck at work
Serving annoying peasants.
It’s all I want.
It’s all I need.
For you to spend
Five minutes…
Five minutes with me.
To hold my hand.
To hug me tight.
Five minutes of December,
With you tonight.
I guess it’s hard not to miss you
At this festive time of year.
My heart is filled with sorrow,
In my eye sparkles a tear.
Wish after working on the shop floor
You’d show up at my door.
Then you’d hold me…
And tell me everything will be alright.
It’s all I want.
It’s all I need.
For you to spend
Five minutes…
Five minutes with me.
To feel your love.
To hold you tight.
Five minutes of December,
With you tonight.
