Not Today
She contemplates the single date
which holds her from the edge
The knife is willing for the killing
but her birth date is soon to come
She couldnt forget, lost was the threat
She dropped her head in defeat
Slips the knife in the drawer
and walks slowly up the stairs
Not tonight not tomorrow
Death shall not walk these halls
