On a random day
I took a walk in the park, to clear my head.
little did I know
that my breath would fade.

A sweaty mad man
revealed a dagger before me,
giving my body and soul
the ability to be extricable

Within a seconds time
my soul and body parted ways.
With my body on the ground
and the soul nowhere to be found.

The mad man walked away,
I only wanted to go and play,
why'd he take away my gaily smile
the cries of my beloved, will be heard from miles.

The mad man was found,
in a cuckoo's nest he was bound.
"what was your reason?" he was asked
he only sat with a smirk every dawn to dusk.
