Please, Don'T
Inspired by the moving storyline from Episode 6 "Love conquers Al" of the interesting TV show, "Cold Case". This episode is based on the true story of the murder of 16-year-old Adrianne Jones on 04 December 1995, in Texas, USA. Rest in peace.
It's sad to think that she and I were both teenagers back then. It's sad when people don't get a chance to live their lives and become their best selves. Life is difficult, but you can only live it if you're alive.
"Please, don't...!"

"Please, don't...!"
Is the last thing she says to you
Before you shoot her dead
You and your girlfriend
Living out a crazy fantasy
Killing someone
Will never cleanse your relationship
Killing someone
Will only tarnish your soul
How could you do it?
How could you take her life?
Punish her for a choice you made?
Punish her with fear and death?
How do you live with yourself?
How do you feel justified?
She is gone forever
And you go on with your life
Going to prison as justice
Will never be enough
She never had a choice
She never stood a chance
Looking down from Heaven
I wonder how she feels?
Surrounded by the angels
Helping her try to deal
Dying young is a sadness
You never get to learn and grow
Experience your potential
Experience the world unknown
If you could do it all again
I wonder what you'd choose?
Would you stop the dominoes
Before you all land up losing?
