There used to be an Angel

There used to be an angel
on the top of our Christmas tree

She left -
when I was about 13 -

pretty much at the same time
(father) Christmas left

Funny that.
Maybe they had a thing going on?

But that can’t be right.
Angels are perfect!

At least -
that’s what we were told.

We were also told -
Father Christmas was real.

When I was about 13
I found something out about him.

Maybe that’s why there used to be an Angel
at the top of our tree.

She didn’t leave.

I did.
