Murder Scene

Turning a blind eye won’t make the world disappear The second sight returns So, too, does the pain and fear I’ll refuse to acknowledge I’ll refuse to accept Reality force-feeding me anguish and regret You... once so close to me This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me Your presence forever will be exposure therapy There stand strangers where the world used to be Can’t take change or are retinas still not letting me see? I’ll refuse to acknowledge I’ll refuse to accept Reality force-feeding me anguish and regret You... once so close to me This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me Your presence forever will be exposure therapy No “we”, no “us” Two halves un-whole I’m your Sisyphus You laugh every roll And you will suffer And you will drown You are the victor? How heavy’s the crown? You... once so close to me This once-so-sacred place is now a murder scene Your name? Just a soliloquy, dead to me Your presence forever will be dead to me
