They asked me why I did it For I am the one to blame When the gunshot triggered He was screaming out my name I wish I could directly fold This hand that I’ve been dealt I wish that I could hold and feel what I once felt This round is not over I won’t last till it’s done I need me a four leaf clover To win back what I once won Is this punishment for disobedience chastised for things gone wrong? Save me from my personal Hades For I’ve forgotten about being strong I can’t resolves these issues revolving in my head don’t know what I’ll tell his missus Her husband now is dead “Why do such a horrible thing You vile and heartless beast! He was everything that I ever loved How am I to live with him deceased?” Blame it on the liquor or on the vile medicine What once held fervent favour Is now wearing my soul thin How am I to show her the things he did to me Should I let her know his hidden hypocrisy? Give me hope and reason to keep on going forth Don’t bar me with my treason and expose me in my court I know I must protect her This weak woman in her youth Her husband would have finished her left her mad and mute A twin soul we share but this dark twisted side is mine I know I love her dearly but I saved her just in time My mind is speaking a dead language The dialect now unknown My voice just echoes back I am speaking it alone I will not seek her forgiveness nor will she spare me from eternal hate It doesn’t matter to me As long as it wasn’t too late Guilt I know is mine And verdict shall soon be passed My last words on death row be Take me home atlast I glance into the eyes of his missus and just in a flash, my twin soul I see the woman staring back, horror struck, that woman, his missus, is me.

The Verdict
They asked me why I did it For I am the one to blame When the gunshot triggered He was screaming out my name I wish I could directly fold This hand that I’ve been dealt I wish that I could hold and feel what I once felt This round is not over I won’t last till it’s done I need me a four leaf clover To win back what I once won Is this punishment for disobedience chastised for things gone wrong? Save me from my personal Hades For I’ve forgotten about being strong I can’t resolves these issues revolving in my head don’t know what I’ll tell his missus Her husband now is dead “Why do such a horrible thing You vile and heartless beast!
