Chains

I walked in and saw her there I turned my eyes away As my emotions plunged into despair She had something to say “I am sorry for my crime” she pled But I saw straight through the lie “Sometimes I wish that I were dead” And I thought, “So do I” After what she did that day I will never be the same She took my little boy away And now she will be chained Her lawyer called me up to speak My body shook as I walked I know what I saw, however bleak Before my son was chalked They tried to bargain with the jury So she could stay alive Either way I did not worry She would not survive After what she did that day I will never be the same She took my little boy away And now she will be chained The judge asked us all to stand As her fate was decided Now I could enact my plan Yet I was divided But when the judge said “twenty years” My heart could not hold on I shot her like I would a deer In seconds she was gone After what I did that day I will never be the same She took my little boy away And now I will be chained
