Love Poem: Guilty By Reason of Love

Guilty By Reason of Love

I am serving time
for a crime easy to comit
It happens to us all
We pray it will quit

People are unknowingly
Going to suffer in time
A love gone to hate
No reason or rhyme

I pace with endless nights
A trial of my peers
Their love has lasted
Mine is shattered with tears

I seek only the death penalty
It's a simple way out
Life in my own prison
Is not worth living without...

His scent
His touch
His love
His desires
His growing old
His needs

and our memories
