I Will not Forget You

I don’t feel rebellious, but I wanted to fulfill a rebellious thought.
It’s the music that doesn’t talk about, but speaks directly to you;
It calms my fermenting mind and heart torn between what is best
And what I want.
It’s like murdering with Manson serenading your rage in the background,
but the opposite. The music gives me peace
Like you do.
