Regret too lateA Poem by Midnight_MaskIts about a young woman accused of harming her boyfriend and lead to belive she killed him. Knowing her innocents she fights for her freedom at court.My last hours are flying past Slamming thoughts turn into dust As her eyes narrow me down Stabbing my delicate frame and trembling knees This will be my faint for my miss use of my personalities To be criticized and caste away by broken eyes Followed by the killing stares Then the increasing breaths As I walk this damaged path Up to a stool where they’ll question my past Actions that I may regret Memories of blood stained air Is this what I’ve been called upon? Have I been caught by a midnight watcher? And has everyone found out about my one last regret? I’m getting ahead of myself and I can’t seem to shake those angered filled glares Maybe it’s best to lower my eyes Evaded the disturbed stares My building hope soon evaporates Then I’m left alone and scared This moment right here right now Calls upon an unwanted memory As if to summon it and burn me in its blood I didn’t mean to be there at such a late hour But as my doubts turn into rage How can they just accuse me without any case? Is this what his ghostly frame placed? To have me jailed for trashing him a month before we’re made one But I couldn’t see myself being dragged up to the alter To say those poetically beautiful words ‘I do’ Now I see how much he loved me However that was never the case! He abused me and my family and hurt our pride Even now, after him we’re demoralised Robbed and stabbed in the back Where did our self-respect lack? Now I’ve just shown many reasons for me to attack Changing my frame from shock and terror Into the one who held the blade? Or even pushed him into the acuminous shade It’s only been nine hours after I ran From a house that hosted a man Now dead for all the wrong mistakes I’m the one who will take the blame “Oh do please state your ‘innocents’” the judge now calls Silencing the echoes that followed her hail I’m repulsed to actually see what they believed “I didn’t kill him, honestly!” But now after shouting out in a cry They’ll dismiss my short out bursting try As if it was just an attempt To claw my way out of this dilemma But now tears shatter my face Shock and horror as they mumble I’m insane I just wanted to pick up my things Go live with different company No-one cares, no-one listens Cluttered conversations turn into abominations Nuisances, just chatter for the fun Their not the ones their shaming in torment Drowning my pride bit by bit Until I’m in high tide No way out The current that tosses with screams and shouts There not the ones who’ll have life imprisonment Or to be killed off for a false accuse Just the thought that I’ll lose More then just my life, my life later on like husband and wife How can I give in now? As I’m towed away by tough arms Locked around mine As I toss and turn for freedom A sudden slam vibrated through the hall Along with a shout “Next!” was all I caught a glimpse of a familiar face Scared from the knife-edged shade© 2010 Midnight_Mask |
