Long Sadwife Poems

Rapture

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!
My dog Rover took a chunk out of my leg
His eyes were crazed, I… killed him with a tent peg
Never before has he acted this way
He would lovingly play with the children all day

My wife…my wife had that same look
I tied her up and locked her in the nook
My loving wife Jane
All I saw in her eyes was hatred and pain

Jane’s brother, Glen
My best imaginary friend
Dead too next to Rover
He attack me so I beat him over and over 

NOOooooo!!! My children…my children are gone
They were in the bedroom singing the ding a ling song
Trains, cars, planes crashing, falling out the sky
Got to switch on the tv, got to find out why

I hear screams, shootings, killing, I must hide
But I know hunger with make me go outside
Oh no look, what the heck?
A man bit a chunk out of the news reporters neck

Oh God his dying, am I going out of my mind
Its as if we have been
Left….
Behind…. 
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuh!
