DEATH BY WAY OF BROKEN HEART

I find myself confined by these bars of my making
I made my heart open & your's for the taking,
But now I realized I basically gave myself this sentence
While I sit & wait for my trial to commence,I replay my actions & wonder why I did it
Why was I so open to this bullshit,
I let you get to me & you received stolen property
You accepted my heart, half-heartedly,
I could put myself on the stand now & testify
On how you did this to me, based all on a lie,
I trusted you when you did a breaking & entering
Now Im standin here takin your sentencing,
You broke into my heart & entered my soul
And all my rights to live freely you stole,
My love for you had me bound to do crazy things
Now Ill never get how the caged bird sings,
I stare into the eyes of the jury & they see your deceit
I try to keep myself from jumping out of my seat,
And running to choke the living shit out of you
That is the only thing my mind is telling me to do,
A year's time is all it took to turn me out
This is an adult crime & far too late, so it's no need 4 me 2 pout,
I watched an armed robbery take place & said no word
You would wrap your arms around me & tell me youu love me, have yall heard?He purgeth himself in this courthouse your honor
Yall just buy into his lies & he just pulls yall even further,
My arraignment is approaching & I feel so nervous
It's too late now, I wonder the purpose,
These past 836 days is what it all comes down to
Why did I have to fall for that & make this man my boo,
Maybe it was his smile or how he treated me at first
Or how it seemed like he had the knowledge for what I thirst,
I look around this courtroom & everyone is watching & waiting
All I can do is think of how devastating,
This is & how it will effect me forever more
Damn him, for breaking down that door,
That was my boundary & I let him past it & now I feel sick
As I sit here here and await the final verdict,
I sit back & think of how I couldve fixed it on my part
It's too late, Im sentenced 2 Death By Way Of BROKEN Heart.
