Dissociation
Look down deep into the soul
Beyond the eyes so pure and bold
Waterfalls of tears they've cried
They were shed and now they're dry
Ever so deep those words of gold
Until the evil she was sold
Capture the jewel then make your escape
Not forgotten is the wretched rape
Inside and out nor one on one
Too late now the deeds been done
Cold and broken. So detached
Going off to sea so close the hatch
Brief respite found upon the shore
Soaking it in as never before
Capture it's essence for it won't be long
Another storm then poof it's gone
Smell the odor left in the air
After the victim escapes the snare
Scars from teeth knawing at the rope
While that sacred of all places was groped
Snap. You are no longer there
The one with no conscience to care
The inner voice of right and wrong
Came and went like a song
That was sung so soft and low
Barely could you hear the wind blow
But there as it came through the trees
Without pretense or saying please
A cold breeze of evil settled deep within
And mingled among the contents of the lonely den
