Jail
Police sirens wail
My heart is in jail.
Falsely accused
I stand abused.
Love is my only crime.
I plead
Through the bars of this rhyme.
Will bleed
And carry scars
Doing time.
Yet
You escaped the pains
Just left me with these chains.
The evidence of past events
Sent you on the run.
You pulled the trigger in every sense
- Death without a gun.
Your promises failed
I was drowning
- You sailed.
Left me handcuffed to my dreams.
An open prison
A closing door.
A dripping tap
That running sore.
Poisoning me
From behind this fence.
Impaled on your sword
- Trust and innocence.
You slashed my heart
Where my kisses would fail.
Splashed by my blood
So you jumped bail.
Left me
Face down in the mud
To a slow death in jail.
