Two Little Presents
Two Little Presents


I wait everyday
Till it gets dark,
And you close your eyes.
I wait for us to meet and greet,
When you and I finally
Get to have a rendezvous,
In a new poem,
Woven with different words.
You wake up on Christmas
To find a present,
That is beautifully wrapped.
You tear it open,
Gently but impatiently,
And all you can see is
A pillow and a blanket.
Now this brings a billion thoughts
Rushing into your head,
At the speed of
A million thoughts per second.
Well,
What do you have to do
With physics?
You are so not impressed
With a present like that,
Because it costs nothing
For a commerce student.
Only if Santa could tell you,
How much you matter.
Only if you could really see
The one behind the mask,
The real me,
With phrases raining down my eyes,
And words filled in my mouth.
I catch my breath,
While I calculate
All of it.
Just to find you,
Uninterested and bored,
Because
Why have a real Santa
When you've got someone better
Who looks like an angel?
How do I tell you
How much I love you?
Only if this poet's words could be said,
Rather than written.
Angel's with the prettiest faces
Have shadows too.
Not generalizing,
But, isn't she too good to be real?
You would understand,
Only if you knew
She has the darkest heart.
Now i'll take a few more words,
Rather than moments to tell you:
What Santa's presents,
Which were given to you,
Really do.
The pillow:
It will soak up all your tears,
While you barely catch your breath.
And I, while staring at you
When you are asleep,
Will rush to exchange our pillows,
Before you wake up.
It will be your best friend,
When no one else is.
And will be there
When you wanna cuddle with someone,
Or hug and weep.
It will be your wall,
When you wanna scream
At the one who hurt you.
It will be your partner,
When you wanna dance
To your favorite music,
Without even judging your choice.
It will build up a nice and new story
For you every night,
With the words of this poem.
The blanket:
It will cover you up,
Maybe,
Even better than
Your possible best friend,
Who will betray you, no matter what.
It will hug you,
Before going to bed,
While sleeping
As well as after waking up.
It will roll up,
To shape into a cylinder
Almost like a human,
So that you could hug it.
And it's totally okay,
If you squish or squeeze it
Because it's not a human after all.
It will remain with you forever,
For real,
At the end of the day, everyday.
Only if you don't plan
On burning it down.
It will never hurt you,
For you shall never hear a word from it,
Even though it is woven
With words that don't rhyme,
Unlike humans,
Who don't care about your time.
Santa hopes for these two little presents
To find a perfect place
In your little heart,
That has been broken
Into a billion pieces,
Before you received them.
And they promise,
To be your friends from now on.
