Please Understand

Some one please hear me
Somebody please understand.
My intent was never to hurt
that bystanding man.
I was never one prone to violence;
never did i fight,
But my world shattered 
at that cold and dreadful sight.
She was in his arms,
and he, in hers.
my love, my wife,
my very world
and in passion i acted,
just as in passion I loved
and, just back from the hunt,
I still had my gun
I pointed and missed
both he and she were spared,
but as for the bystanding man
in my aim I had erred.
 i regret that it hit another
don't think for a minute I regret my intent
for my wife was with my brother
and it was for he that the bullet was meant
