I had entered into a marriage
In the summer of my twenty-first year
And the bells rang for our wedding
Only now do I remember it clear

No more a rake and no more a bachelor
I was wedded and it whetted my thirst
Until her womb start spilling out babies
Only then did I reckon my curse

First came Eziah with his crinkled little fingers
Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn
Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery
Mercifully taking her mother along

What can one do when one is widower
Shamefully saddled with three little pests
All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life
So my burden I began to divest

Charlotte I buried after feeding her foxglove
Dawn was easy, she was drowned in the bath
Eziah fought but was easily bested
Burned his body for incurring my wrath

And that’s how I came your humble narrator
To be living so easy and free
Expect you think that I should be haunted
But it never really bothers me

hotcoldhotcoldhotcoldhotcold and im not referring to a rise and fall in temperature

im exhausted but i feel alive

a kind donation for motivating colorful thought

this noose carries what atrophied wings can't
don't you want me disenchanted, a deader shade of sorry, buried from the neck up in a slipknot, dragging my feet through the dead air
suspended a fallen chair length from the ground

i become the utmost intrigued at the slightest sight of new.
