A maliscious melody,
A carnivorous carol,
A sociopathic symphony,
A horrific hym.
A lullaby so soft and sad,
A poisonous song swimming in my veins,
But this poison comes without pain,
Instead whisks away my agony.
The music begins with the pop of the lid.
Next the rattle of pills,
Falling into my palm by the dozen
And the chorus repeats.
I wash it down with a bottle of rum,
And wait for my song to lull me to sleep.
As I feel the lullaby drawing to an end,
I grin just a bit and whisper goodnight.
