Dear Santa

 Dear Santa, 

If there's anything I wish for

It's the innocence lost

Gleefully writing all dreams

On a tiny note to Santa

The key was all those things 

That  fit right into a sock 

Dreams so small that Santa can bring

And siblings too,  quite the same 

Thinking of the smallest things 

Chocolates,  crackers, baloons

The joy it brought 

Cannot be explained

Bring back the heart

Before innocence was lost

Break

 Break, that's the word you said

A break,  that's so casual 

A break,  with a single word

You shattered my world

Will my heart ever heal again 

Will I learn to love once more

Is there a price to pay

For the way my heart aches now?

Memories,  those moments we made

Etched on diamonds, they say It's forever

Just want to set fire, and watch that blaze 

No remnants,  just embers 

Of a fire that once was

Now, no more
