Halloween is my favorite time of year
We threw a costume party it was full of cheer
Two nights later you flew into a rage
I felt like a bird trapped in a cage
You yelled and badgered me for hours
In my face your mood completely sours
You finally burst into strange laughter
As if your personality began to fracture
I drop my daughter off to go trick-or-treating
She didn't need to see me get a verbal beating
Time to get my daughter from her night of fun
I find you in another room with your father's gun
I ask you what you think you're doing
A familiar hateful look stings me for asking
I warned you I could not do this anymore
I needed to leave to see what life has in store
No more drama because of your illness
My life is no longer filled with sadness
