Well, i've recently learned that you should never bury your head in the security of other people, no matter how much you're there for them they may not be there for you when you need them. I guess i kind of knew that anyway though...moving on ...a quick post inbetween looooong shifts at work!!

As a child on Christmas eve
i eagerly await a lie
one that you'd have me believe
As life goes flying by

You claimed we'd lay awake tonight
to catch him creeping around
But as i turn your mind takes flight
and you sleep without a sound

Left alone to stand and fight
I know not who to blame
That cause i laid until the light
I saw Santa never came

& though i envy you your sleep
at least i learnt to fight
and if he comes again to creep
i'll give him quite a fright!
