The Sentence

[givenup]

The walls of the prison stand tall and firm

They surround me now and close me in

As my sentence is handed down to me

My head hung low, it now begins

 

To be so lost and so alone, it makes me numb right to the bone

I can't change a thing, theirs nothing I can do

But to live in pain, all my life through

 

I never knew love the way it was meant to be

Now the sky turns dark, I cannot see

 

The pain is a reminder of who I once was

Adn justice has been handed down from above

 

My body is weak and this life of mine now fades

I will always be looked at as an outcast

A liar, cheat and now a slave

 

My Body smells fowl from an ugly past

As people avoid me and talk behind my back

 

My wife, My boss my family my friends

Wouldn't ever care if my life came to en end

This is what I leave behind, the emptiness is all that you'll find
