Conviction

Convictions have been placed,
Convicted before I was born,
The convicted is; a woman scorned

Listen to my words
See them cry
You’re looking at a body
Whose soul said goodbye

The pain you cause
The pain I feel
Nothing can fix, no  angel could heal

Save me from  the deep, dark un-showing
Save me from the dark
Save me from unknowing

Cuffs placed upon my hand
Cuffs placed without an understanding
We obey no laws, but we’ve broken them all
You and your words
it’s a wonder wall

Arrested in my heart
Convicted,  in my cell
Arrested in my heart
Convicted to your spell

Look at my eyes
Hear them speak
You’re looking at a soul
Whose body is weak

The pain you cause
The pain I feel
Nothing can fix, no  angel could heal

Save me from the deep, dark un-showing
Save me from the dark
Save me from knowing

I break and I keep on breaking
Until I break free
No judge, no jury, no trial
Just me


Arrested is my heart
Conviction you’ve done well
Now I convict you
To serve time in my hell
