My Wish


wish humans could hear us How I wish they could just see us I wish they could feel and hold us For my fiancé couldn't lot in jail When he was arrested for murder I was there with the arrester While in court for hearing the case I was present to testify for him He was convicted for killing a girl She was engaged with How it happened, nobody knows Her body was found in his bathtub I scream loud to protest his innocence He couldn't even hear me, I stood with him in the chamber I tap the judge's shoulder when giving his judgment He couldn't feel my touch I wrote it down how I died He couldn't read or see it And he sentence him for life in prison A crime he know not He cried,I cried and his parents too The evidence was clear He killed her in the bathtub full of water I wish the dead could speak to human For my fiance wouldn't spend his life time in prison for a crime he didn't commit. I wish they heard me when I said this in court, ''I was epileptic. I Fall in the bathtub and died. no one was around to save me'' Yet he carried the blame Now serving life time imprisonment Just because the dead can't write or speak to humans! But maybe it was his destiny.
