Why Was I Dead

Why was I dead?
Something I said
Letter you'd read
Made me eat lead?

Way you were bred
Always see red
Such a hot head
Reason has fled.

Lying in bed
Anger you fed
Watched as I bled
Night we were wed.

Courtroom you pled
"Not" of instead
Telling Judge Dred
Murdered poor Fred.

No one was fooled
Saw how you drooled
Photos were shown
Corpse you had known.

Cyanide gassed
Made you a ghost
Now you're at most
Pain that has passed.
