So this is Emily's story...and yes I know her story happened during the old west but I had to figure something out. The song is 'Alyssa Lies' by Jason Michael Carroll. I also know that this song is supposed to be about child abuse but I changed it a bit to fit this story. Just pretend it's about rape and you know.
The point of view of the song is a father of a girl that Emily meets. The other words that I put in is kinda no one's point of view. Hope it makes some sence.
One last thing, if you didn't read Conner's story this will not make any sence. Thank you for understanding.
Story Start
A young girl met a new girl the other day. The new girl said her name was Emily and they played and talked a while on the playground. They had lots of fun but eventually they both had to leave.
My little girl met a new friend just the other day
On the playground at school
Between the tires and the swings
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
And she said to me, "Daddy, (Emily) lies"
Emily went home to her brother, Conner, and told him everything as well. Conner went out and killed his friend because of what happened.
Well I just brushed it off at first
'Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
Or the things she had seen
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me
And she said
"(Emily) (lied) to the classroom
(Emily) (lied) (today) at school
(Emily) (lied) to the teachers
As she (tried) to cover every bruise"
Within a few hours Conner was hauled into the police station and sentanced to hang. His little sister visited him many times within the few hours he was held. Conner told not a soul what had happened to his sister and Emily was greatful for that but she wished that Conner wouldn't die. She loved her brother with all her heart and without him...she didn't know what she'd do.
My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep
As I stepped out the room I heard her say
A prayer so soft and sweet
"God bless my mom and my dad
And my new friend (Emily)"
Oh I know she needs you bad because
(Emily) (lied) to the classroom
(Emily) (lied) (today) at school
(Emily) (lied) to the teachers
As she (tried) to cover every bruise"
On Saturday Conner was hung infront of everyone that dared to come. Emily included. She had no clue what she'd do now, she had no other family that would want a ten year old girl as a daughter. She decided to head home and hope for the best.
I had the worst night of sleep in years
As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears
I knew exactly what I had to do
But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news
On Sunday, Emily was killed by Mrs. Molly. She had hung the little girl, finishing what her husband started because, in Mrs. Molly's eyes, it was Emily's fault her husband was dead.
My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad
The lump in my throat grew bigger
With every question that she asked
Until I felt the tears run down my face
And I told her that (Emily) wouldn't be at school today
'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom
She doesn't lie anymore at school
(Emily) lies with Jesus
Because there's nothing anyone would do
Tears filled my eyes
When my little girl asked me why
(Emily) lies
Oh daddy, oh daddy tell me why
(Emily) lies
