Dissonance

Dissonance By Kevin Robey June 13, 2014 There lies a place deep inside of me Where a girl resides surrounded by lies Give her my eyes so she can finally see Mend all her gashes from the day that she died Awakened by rushing streams in the clouds She says kill me quickly; reduce her to ash Make sure they don't find my face in the crowd Keep memories of me hidden deep in the trash They're horror in pink hair and pig tails she wears Confusion to breed this next eternal recluse We'll be alone forever where no one will stare The future maybe will include her last noose The options may be lose or lose where I sit But alternatives are short of the things I will miss To die slowly now would make me commit A bigger crime that I live a lie in the abyss So I give her a name and heal wounds of abuse With strawberry gashes a thing of the past I hear the judging insults already so obtuse So she'll guide me through the cracks in the glass [Listening to "Strawberry Gashes" by Jack Off Jill]
