Verdict

Further and further
on your least wanted list
Lies that you cradle
in your open fist
Pull back the punch
and start my bleeding
Your love, my hope
is finally fleeting
If I ever did this to you
the verdict would be cheating
on a gift of forever
and life would have no meaning
A prisoner of your time off
that you seem to enjoy
Victim of the games
you swear you don't employ
Murder to my mind
Shotgun to my heart
Your defense of selfishness
has torn my world apart
Smile through your teeth
as you stab the knife straight through
the one person you know
who truly loves you
And the phone won't ring
no emergencies here
Just a growing puddle of blood
mixing with my tears
