Death of a Dear One

 

Baby, I'm so sorry
last night I must have been
drunker than I thought
What was I thinking of?

On my way out
I remembered to turn off the light
but I left your door open
so the whole wide world
could just walk right in
and take advantage

I know, baby
that was my big mistake
We all make them
sometimes
although I've never done
anything as foolish before
but then none of us is perfect
after all

You know lately it's been the
toughest time at work
nothing seems to go right
only stress and the bills
getting higher
no wonder I need to drink
the way I do

Can you imagine
how I felt
coming home to find you like that
everything I held so dear
special memories lost forever
all the things I loved
and looked forward to
gone for good

The worst part
was seeing your insides
all churned up
congealing on the floor
Now I know how a murderer
must feel

We may as well let the cat
finish up what's left
before I drag you outside
and down the stairs
You're certainly heavier
than I thought
and when I get time
I promise
to dispose of you properly
but for now my dearest
dead
freezer
may you rest quietly
in peace
