r u the headlights?

it’s the busiest month of the year
some people are merry, while others are sad
and some people aren’t even here

through the slush and the snow there is cheer
out front on display, buried deep underneath
or maybe in front of the mirror

it’s the busiest month of the year
i can’t believe all the things that have happened
and somehow twelve new months draw near

we all ought to live without fear
but surprises can spring, and life happens fast
are you the headlights to my deer?
