Halloween is my favorite holiday
It didn’t always used to be
It started when an abusive boyfriend asked me
What’s your favorite holiday?
He was a very Christian boy
The kind who twisted words of faith
To get what he wanted
The kind who could never keep his word
So I said Halloween
Because the day after is All Saints Day
Because I thought a very Christian boy would love that answer
He did
He loved it
He pretended to love me
Until he didn’t
He was not good at keeping his word
But I am good at keeping mine
So Halloween is still my favorite holiday
And
Spooky season has become me
