Birthday Wish

Happy Birthday! They sing Delicious cake The candles lit Only now my wish It’s been a great day So many gifts Eaten so much cake Laughter The flames flicker They cheer I wish this moment could last Forever I dig in Slice by slice Till it’s all gone The plate empty Happy Birthday! They sing… Another cake The candles lit I dig in Slice by slice Till it’s all gone The plate empty No more! I can’t! Happy Birthday! They sing… Another cake The candles lit I dig in Why did I make that wish? LLK. __________ I don’t now if this is really that scary, but I was going for a psychological kind of horror, that warns you to be careful with what you wish for on your birthday, as here wishing to relive the joy of a birthday is sinisterly twisted into having to repeat that exact moment over and over, stuck eating cake unwillingly and being sung happy birthday on repeat. Some kind of insanity.
