You painted your eyes black and you painted your mouth red
You scratched your arms and legs and bit your nails until they've bled
The doctor gives you pills and still you wish that you that were dead
No one ever listens do they, 'Lyssa
Did it happen like you planed did it happed like you dreamed
Did it satisfy the hunger when you finally heard her scream
She was only 9 and you were only just 15
No one ever listens do they, 'Lyssa
They said your grandma's house would be a better place to stay
Your mother drinks too much and now your daddy's gone away
But you know that's not why you did the thing you did today
No one ever listens do they, 'Lyssa
You told the sheriff everything down to the last detail
You know the woods so well you threw the bloodhounds off your trail
Men who've seen it all saw what you did and then turned pale
But no one ever listens do they, 'Lyssa
Everyone asks why on the new and in the press
But they settle for an answer like your home life was a mess
How can you explain you needed something to possess
No one ever listens do they, 'Lyssa
You painted your eyes black
You painted your mouth red
You cut your arms and legs and bit your nails until they bled
They said it's just a phase, but now that little girl is dead
They listen to you now don't they, 'Lyssa

This is a poem I made for my friend Alyss. I decided not to use her full name.
