Poem: "Why Do You Want to Kill Me?"

Why do you want to kill me?
 What did I do to you
 For you to murder me?
 For you to want me through?
 I hear the rain tap, tap my roof
 A soundtrack for my thoughts
 About the murder at your hands
 And all the damage wrought
 By actions took, a hangman's noose
 A whetted blade, a bat:
 The murder of myself by you
 No chance to run it back. 
 No chance but now to listen to
 The tap, tap, rain, tap, tap
 About a life that I once had
 The one I can't get back.
