Day 318/366

The warmth of bright lights -
So irreplaceable.
Family, by your side.
No familiar faces still.
Just a routine and a ritual
Alas! A cracker burst or two.
The devotion once felt towards today
No longer in my blood.
The fake smiles can finally stop.
Let the shininess slowly fade.
Will this repeat itself again?
I hope not, it's too unreal.
