That Deadly Night

I thought I loved you,
Forever and for always,
But now I know that you have changed,
You didn't love me anyways.

Whenever I did something wrong you yelled,
Whenever you did something wrong,
I tried to punish you,
But you always seemed to resist.

You hit me,
You kicked me,
You stabbed me with a knife,
Yet I always seemed to pull through,
Until that deadly night.

I came home from work,
A half hour late,
You got really upset but it was too late.

You started to hit me,
You even had a gun,
I begged for my life,
Until you finally stopped.

You didn't stop on purpose,
You still wanted to hurt me,
But I took a wrench from off the counter,
And hit you and hit you once more.

You fell to the ground,
After one last hit,
And bled all over the floor.

I started to scream,
Why,
I don't know.

I thought I would be happy,
With you forever gone,
But the pain inside was to hard to bear,
So I punished myself this time.

I went to the police station,
And told them my story,
They said I could spend life in jail,
Oh, I didn't really care.

The trial day finally came,
I dressed up really nice,
I told the jury my story,
Of that fateful night.

They punished me to life in jail,
For my hateful crime,
I wasn't really worried though,
I knew I'd be alright.
