Thank you! I inserted a portion of the song so that the reader could get a better sense of how jarring the incident was. I don't think the sudden shift in tone would have been as present had I been reading it. In addition, unlike a poem, lyrics to a song sound different when read versus when they are sung (as intended by lyricist) so it was my intention to keep the song in it's truest form (as to not ruin it).
What a great poem to perform! Especially because it is so personal. Only question: why didn't you read the lyrics that were present in the poem?
