Cry for Me

Water falling from the sky,

Or perhaps just from my eyes.

His promises, like me, are dead,

As I pretend to shoot him through the head.


'It was only photos, nothing to die for'

That's what everyonesays in the court room.

'But photos of me'

I should have thought ahead.


'Her own fault'

They didn't believe that I knew it was.

Pointing my fingers at him in the defence stand,

Imagining his body covered in red.


I died for this,

This pustule of false innocence.

Character witness #1

'He has been filled with regret'.


Cry me a river, sunshine.

He killed me, my boyfriend and my friend.

'Suicides come in threes'

I was only a kid.
