with the jury residing
contemplating the evidence
pondering your intentions
calculating your frame of mind
when your head slipped
and your hand the trigger pulled
the bullet ricocheting
and hitting my heart
and while it still bleeds
your plea for a chance is logged
like the memories of what you did
stuck in my mind
vivid and clear
while my bleeding heart
refuses to subside
and commence with healing
i grant you your plea
against my better judgement
