Your Last Sleep

Listen, you can hear nothing
I am here on my own
After my pleadings and beggings
Under the floorboards I was disowned.

You said you'd never loved me
Just used me as a tool
A way to get a child by me
And me, myself, just a fool.

I gave you the gift of a baby boy
And you was over joyed
We named our darling baby Tom
I didn't know I was just being toyed.

After Tom's first birthday
Thing's started going wrong
You weren't so nice as you could've been
But for Tom's sake I was strong.

I didn't leave no matter what
Even when you broke my arm
I was scared for mine and Tom's future
And just how far you could harm.

I never once saw you touch Tom
But still I lived in dread
And I hated myself for thinking
We'd be better if you were dead.

But fortunately for you
You beat me to the deed
And when you tried to kill me that night
In fact you did succeed.

Poor little Tom
Could you not hear him cry
He could not do nothing
Except watch his mummy die.

You went to bed
Just left me on the floor
Tucked Tom in, said goodnight
Glad you had me no more.

In the morning when you woke up
A fresh and sober state
You drove Tom into play-school
And waved him off at the gate.

Then you returned home
And gazed at me on the ground
You realized you needed to put me
In a place where I wouldn't be found.

Up in the attic you found a place
Under the floorboards I was put
Then you went back down stairs
And brushed away the soot.

You took a rucksack
With my clothes it was filled
You shoved it in a bin
Just like me it was killed.

Everyone was told
That I'd run in the night
You told them we'd argued
Had a petty fight.

They were told I had left you
I was having an affair
I had told you I hated
My family, I did not care.

And they believed you
Thought I'd left through guilt
But instead I was buried
In the home we had built.

Tom doesn't remember
What happened that night
You told him I was a bad mummy
And I didn't do what was right.

I am just wanting to tell you
That I did love you before
But you destroyed everything
I cant believe what in you I saw.

My body is all rotten now
You will never get the blame
You got away free this time
But it will not happen again.

And as I see you anger some days
Towards my baby boy
I know I must as a ghost
Get to you and destroy.

Tommy will be better in care
Away from your vicious soul
I am going to haunt you
And kill you as a ghoul.

Tomorrow I will get you
So sleep for one last time
Coz tomorrow my darling husband
Your death is going to be mine.
