3rd Annual Poems About Suicide Month

[Magpie]

Her Birthday Surprise


This year he made
an extra effort
for her birthday.

This year he wanted
it to be different,
something to remember.

While she spent
the day at work
he would carefully prepare the scene.

So when she got home
the first thing 
she would see

would be him;
dangling
lifeless
from her beloved chandelier.
