Guilty By Reason of Love
I am serving time
for a crime easy to comit
It happens to us all
We pray it will quit
People are unknowingly
Going to suffer in time
A love gone to hate
No reason or rhyme
I pace with endless nights
A trial of my peers
Their love has lasted
Mine is shattered with tears
I seek only the death penalty
It's a simple way out
Life in my own prison
Is not worth living without...
His scent
His touch
His love
His desires
His growing old
His needs
and our memories
