Hurt On Halloween
Jack-O-Lantern, please
She sleeps through this very night
She wants to avoid
All the spry black cats tonight
As the ghosts come out to play
She desires to leave
Behind her, all the deceit
Wearing a costume
Brings a false image that she
Does not want to entertain
There was a pain that
This night brought to her in the
Not so distant past
When witches came and brought out
Cursing relationships harsh
Party tonight she
Desires to avoid, aversion
Of highest degree
The night creatures will stay
In their own places this night
She will have nothing
To do with the evil of
Of this evening
Hate so large pain envelopes
Her soul and tears form within
Always hurt inside
Just a blind man searching life
With a broken cane
Never knowing sure what you have
Just a vague image she has
