Hey! So I am having writing blocks on all other storys (that's why I haven't posted any) so I want to start oneshots, simple and easy. So this is a song fic but it's not an actual song, no instead its from the book itself. So this is hunger games and the song is the hanging tree from mockingjay. Its my first songfic so hope you like it!

At some points in life it just hits you, wether your with your family, hanging out in town, or tied up on your knees like me, that no matter how hard you try you can never have what you want. Never have freedom, never rid of the games, and for me never to have the love of your life. Every slash of the whip on my back is a reminder that trying to get a true life is futile, never to be attained.
My current situation strangely reminds me of a song katniss told me about. She said her faher used to sing it to her, and it took me so long to get her to sing it for me.
are you are you
coming to the tree
where they srtung up a man
they say he murdered 3
strange things did happen here
no stranger would it be
if we met up at midnight
at the hanging tree.
She said her father had to sing it to her in secret, and away from her mother, and that she would never forget it as there little secret. I may as well be the man, even though I did less then murder and I'm not dead. I see Darius come forward, trying to stop this new peacekeeper, and is knocked out by the end of the whip. At least I know some people still care enough to try. I kneel here, counting every mark made until I reach 20, 30, 40. There is no end, and then a small ray of hope. People are trying to keep someone back, and who else would it be but katniss? I open my mouth to try to tell her to stop, turn around, but can't get the words out.
are you are
you coming to the tree
where the dead man called out
for his love to flee
strange things did happen here
no stranger would it be
if we met at midnight
at the hanging tree.
She doesn't stop, and forces her way to the front. She looks at me and I see the color drain from her face, and watch her expression go from confused to a contorted fearful yet angry face. Once again I try to tell her to go but only get out a puff of air.
are you are you
coming to the tree
where i told you to run
so we'd both be free
strange things did happen here
no stranger would it be
if we met up at midnight
at the hanging tree.
"Stop it! You'll kill him!" She shrieks leeping in front of the whip and sheilding my body with hers. Her left cheek is slashed and I can only watch as she falls to her knee's.
are you are
you coming to the tree
wear a necklace of rope
side by side with me
strange things did happen here
no stranger would it be
if we met at midnight
at the hanging tree.
The new peacekeeper raises his whip, and is only barely stopped by a gruff slightly slurred voice. "Hold it!" says who could only be Haymitch. I start to black out from blood loss and my last thought is this. At least I know that she will always be there.
