From My Mind To Yours

Sins Not Tragidies

Moonlight shines down on my face

A cool October night

Hands in my pockets I walk the streets

I look from side to side

A couple kisses under the light

The light of a streetlamp

I sigh and kick at the leaves at my feet

Faced with the fact that I am condemned

Condemned to spend the rest of my days alone

I killed a man nigh on two years ago

My reasons were as good as any

Cars drive by lights shining in the darkness

Again I kick at the leaves

My scabs pulling at the cuts under my coat

Left there only mere days before

Quite a punishment I suppose

Yet I don't regret what I did

That man was raping my lover

And by all means I would not stand for such

He killed her in the process of escaping

At that time I knew I was not going to let him go

I still remember the way

The way her hair fell around her face

As she lay there lifeless

Tears dripping down my cheeks

And landing on her beautiful features

Craddling her body

Not being to smile from then on

I leaned down and kissed her

I kissed her one last time

Even though I knew

That she could never return it
