Why Was I Dead

Why was I dead? Something I said Letter you'd read Made me eat lead? Way you were bred Always see red Such a hot head Reason has fled. Lying in bed Anger you fed Watched as I bled Night we were wed. Courtroom you pled "Not" of instead Telling Judge Dred Murdered poor Fred. No one was fooled Saw how you drooled Photos were shown Corpse you had known. Cyanide gassed Made you a ghost Now you're at most Pain that has passed.
