I stand before you

A broken women

Heart on my sleeve

Head hung in shame

The facts are laid before the court

Shining a spotlight on me

The jury looks at me in disgust

Some with pity

And some, like you, do not look at all

Finally, it is my turn to speak

But you have already made your ruling

Will not hear me out

They repeat the charges against me

Spitting each word at me

Cutting me like knives

And finally I hear the words that crush me

"We the jury find the defendant guilty"

I am sentenced though it doesnt seem

To be harsh enough to wipe the slate clean

An eye for an eye

Limb for limb

No amount of physical scars

Compares to the emotional pain I'm in

I hurt you now

I'm hurting too

I'm a murderer

I killed love

And broke your heart too

Take me away lock me up tight

Until my words become enough

To make my wrongs right
