Murdered Father

Just wrote this last night. Not one of my best but I still wanted to post it. I hope you enjoy it.

Upon the street so full and wide

I passed those there with such a stride

That as a heavy and loathesome tide

Pressed me unto her door

 

I found myself of a nervous state

For who was I to contemplate

If her and I were matched of fate

Or if we were to be no more

 

I entered there to find her crying

The sight to me quite stupifying

The feeling inside me, that of dying

That feeling worse than that of before

 

I flew to her as I began to surmise

The reason tears defiled her exquisite eyes

My heart filled with a dire surprise

To find my love's face so poor

 

Through frightful fits she spoke asunder

Her story torn from fits of frenzied thunder

Reeling from a spell she was under

Frantic unto the core

 

Her father- her he'd been abusing

Instead of love, hatred choosing

Her acuteness from this she had been losing

Causing her to repay by spilling his blood upon the floor

 

Then she in a state of fear

For killing the one she loved so dear

Confronted a thought of no more cheer

For the confinement the law would implore

 

I gazed upon her with a heavy sadness

For the one that caused me such gladness

Was upon the verge of madness

Her mind grief and worry had tore

 

I confided to the officers that I was to blame

for I couldn't allow my love to be washed with shame

and so I pay the price for only her name

in conefinement for whom my heart beats for.
