12 days of Christmas re-written.

 *Trigger warning: Domestic abuse, violence ,abusive relationship *
A David Macleod type poem!



On the First day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
an air freshener
as a Christmas tree.

On the Second day of Christmas,
my true love gave to me
"Ouch it hurts when
I pee".


On the Third day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
my weekly allowance
of Monee.


On the Fourth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
a burning mistrust
in humanitee.

On the Fifth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
separation from my
friends and familee.

On the sixth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
a warning
so scaree.


On the seventh day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
cold distance, instead of
emotional intimacee.

On the eighth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
a false accusation
of Infidelitee.

On the ninth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
a full bottle's worth
of Miseree.


On the tenth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
a lecture on why I'm a shit person
and the third
degree.

On the eleventh day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
5 broken ribs
and a
fractured knee.

On the twelfth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
FUCK ALL!...
after I'd gave my everything,
they acted so selfish-lee!!!!!

(And on the day after
the Christmas
I never got to see
My true love gave to me
a burial in a black
bag by the
old oak tree)




(Intended to say that
1. For abused people Christmas is not a good time
2. to question the "my true love gave to me" song because it seems one sided and creepy
3. to ask how the recipient and giver felt about this
4. to mock unfairly possibly but not untruthfully, the fact the song shows an incomplete representation of Christmas, relationships etc
5. to turn the idea of "my true love" into an exploration of abuse from the abused's point of view
6. to explore abusive romantic relationships which are not necessarily ones of violence but other kinds of abuse)
