Your Leftovers

Another holiday has come and gone.

All the family has packed there bags

And left for the long trip home.

Now I'm stuck with all the leftovers.

Turkey, dressing, gravy, and pie,

(Broken hearts, bad memories, and lies)

Mashed potatoes, candied yams, and rolls,

(Your absence, my shattered dreams, and the cold)

When the holidays are all over

And all the dishes are cleared away and done

I'm left with nothing but leftovers

Of the dream we once shared that is gone.
