Missing Blanket from Xmas Lights by Lily Amis

I’m freezing from the inside out
I shout it loud, but no one’s around
I send a message: “please, I need a hand,”
But silence answers, no ones there
So I close my eyes and drift away
To the scents that take me back someday

The smell of home, the spices sweet
The childhood streets beneath my feet
It all feels like a missing blanket
The love I crave but never make it
The warmth I need, but can’t embrace

A missing blanket in time and space
I play the music of where I’m from
Hoping the heartbeat will make me strong
Belonging whispers through every chord
A comfort I’ve been longing for
Like winter rain on window glass
I chase the warmth that never lasts

The smell of home, the spices sweet
The childhood streets beneath my feet
It all feels like a missing blanket
The love I crave but never make it
The warmth I need, but can’t embrace
A missing blanket in time and space

But maybe one day I’ll find the light
A hand to hold on a holly Christmas night
The missing blanket wrapped in care
A gift of love that’s always there

The smell of home, the candles glow
The warmth of hearts I used to know
No more missing blanket, I’ll find my place
Wrapped in love, in an endless embrace

Like a missing blanket in winters rain
I’ll find my way back home again
