it came for free
a villanelle
today's the day it came for free
it makes me so delighted
tomorrow it will come for me
anticipating ecstasy
when stomach feels ignited
today's the day it came for free
i've made my bed, i'm losing sleep
perhaps it's time to hide it
tomorrow it will come for me
i've always had to pay the fee
my wallet tries to fight it
today's the day it came for free
not all the cost has been relieved
of that, i'll be reminded
tomorrow it will come for me
for future me, have sympathy
the price tag left me blinded
today's the day it came for free
tomorrow it will come for me
