Work Text:
On that one rainy day,
My lifespan was thin,
While you were reading and reading,
I let the shadow in.
On Christmas morning,
You being happy,
I felt my smile fade,
For Bill was snappy.
Why did I listen,
To the demon,
When all he wanted to do,
Was be a freeman?
On Easter afternoon,
You were in your Easter Bunny costume
And little did you know,
I was already planning my tomb.
On Memorial Day night,
You cried over our military aunt,
I cried because I knew,
I couldn’t go on, I can’t.
On the Fourth of July,
You waved your flag high,
But I felt like I was ready,
To drop to the floor and die.
On Halloween night,
You got candy,
While I was at home,
Thinking I was not near enough handy.
On Thanksgiving morning,
It was raining,
I was going to kill myself,
Just as I was planning.
But you found my knife,
My pills, my rope, my scars,
And you took them away,
But I still had a back-up plan with a car.
I made Bill drive,
Leaving you behind,
I went into the woods,
Hung from a tree, and died.
On that one rainy day,
My lifespan was thin,
While you were burning my rope,
I let the shadow win.
