"Guilty" I plead,
But here the law works differently.

I pretend to hear the door slam,
I pretend to hear you scream.

The gable falls,
And silence rules the room.

And I wish you were here
But you never were.

I think of highway,
The one we travel,

Can't believe
How close we live
And will never find each other.

So I pretend
At the kitchen table.

Perhaps we would have had kids,
A dog or a cat,

But the illusions die,
And with tears in my eyes,
I cry out "Guilty!"

But the law here works differently.

I guess the law does works differently when you assume she is near but only in your thoughts.

The beginning and end of this poem really set it apart from others with a simaler theme. Good job!
