Hilarious

Hilarious
July 2017: Rewritten from the same location as first penned: the Salvation Army Men's Shelter in Ottawa. Posted against taunts of 'it's your funeral' when it was only me sharing my heart in my own words. Stolen by the Rolling Stones in 2007, apparently along with more than ten other of my songs. I would now like to kill the Rolling Stones.

Here am I cast aside
Basking inside my gloom
Where can I go to hide?
No one can find the room
Plenty of love to waste on a lie
Let the offenders roam free
And when they're done having their fun
Nothing but ashes for me

Live my life, pay the price
Share the unknown miseries
Then must rest second best
To obscene facsimiles
Wouldn't they love to lift you up?
Have you return it with glee?
But all they touch turns to dust
Ashes are all I can see

One day come freedom
Right the outrageous wrong
She'll be by in a while
Hope it won't take her too long
Cover my heart with healing hands
Ease my discomfort with play
Follow her out if I can
Never come back this way
