A Christmas Belle

Moment of truth

By Raymond G. TaylorPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Still from 1984 film A Christmas Carol

You say to me you release me now

From our betrothal, from my vow

To marry you, wedded bliss.

You take away the kiss,

The hand softly held,

Leave me my gold,

Say goodbye

Mister

    Holidays came early.

  • I have no words, heartbroken.

  • I may not understand this well because I don't really have the context, sorry for my ignorance 😅 But I still loved it!
