Cackle in the Dark

Summary:

A Desperate Housewives poem about what possibly goes through Eddie Orlofsky's mind due to his childhood and current pain. Eddie Orlofsky is the Fairview Strangler.

Notes:

-All of these thoughts are spun from most of the episodes in season 6 that Eddie has been in.

Disclaimer: Don't own Eddie Orlofsky, nor Desperate Housewives. They all belong to Marc Cherry. Wish I did own Eddie though :P , but only the words I use to express his emotions and the idea are mine.

Work Text:

"Its not your fault you ruined my life" she said,

as her toxic hug did squeeze.
*

Beaten into the mind of a little child,

pain is caused with such great ease.
*

"Monsters are born from other monsters"

Mary Alice did narrate...
*

but monsters grow over time

and take even longer to dissipate.
*

It wasn't just your fault,

there was more than one cause I'm sure,
*

that made me snap and strangle

those girls they all called 'pure'.
*

Its all fun and games

until someone gets hurt...
*

usually its not the one

who was playing in the dirt.
*

With a muddied soul,

they grin and crack a joke,
*

but just try to freakin' laugh

when my hands close and you choke.
*

Its easy to mock the weak,

because you feel so grand,
*

but from behind these closed doors

I've finally made a stand.
*

Your bottle can't hurt anyone else,

don't worry, no one heard a sound.
*

You may not be able to see it,

because you're 6 feet under ground.
*

Leaving me at home,

and calling me those names,
*

letting the neighbors care more,

and invite me to play games...
*

while you nursed your habit

and acted like I was wrong.
*

Couldn't you just let it go

and please let me belong?
*

Its not like I have a chance to make it big

or have someone who cared.
*

Why couldn't you just grumble

while you hid and stared?
*

But I decided it was enough,

and that all the joking stops
*

when you picked up the phone

called me a moron and the cops.
*

You just like the others,

it was easy as pie
*

lunging for your neck

and watching you quickly die.
*

They teased and mocked me for anything

and it was something I couldn't allow.
*

But after all the pain and 'fun'

guess who's laughing now?

-Eddie Orlofsky
