The Soviettes


I guess you thought it would be fun to make your pain into 
a game for someone. I guess 
you didn't realize how hurt 
and lies would color all our 
lives. What you did to, so 
residual, my yesterday. What 
will I do to my tomorrow? 
Will I take on, for forsaken, 
my father's ways and I could 
draw my own blood's blood? I 
sometimes lie awake at dawn, 
though wrong, love him now 
he's dead and gone. The part 
that loves him aches inside. 
In deep it lies next to the 
the scars I hide. I forgave 
you when i gave you my wild 
eyed childhood. How ddo I 
fill my empty doors and frames? How do i get, born of 

his spit, wise and mild? When 
did all the colors run grey? 
My life is gray, when will I see day?
