I stand before the jury
waiting for their decision
I make a silent prayer...
Please, let them see my regret
Please, let them have mercy

I stand before a jury
of bottle-blonde beauties.
nailed to the tiled-floor
blood smeared over my feet
They hold me hostage

I stand before the jury
Wanting to hear
whatever these godesses say
They rule over all
They speak the law

I stand before the jury
too scared to cry
too brave to smile politely
I glance towards the audience
of previous friends and past-loves
Wishing they would protest

I stand before the jury
and see a face I recognise
She looks so familiar
yet I know for sure she is different
Her hair isn't as blonde
Her teeth not as white
Her eyes not as blue

I stand before the jury
And stare at this fake
I realise she is the person I once trusted
the one i loved
I realise all I need is to hear her say

I stand before the jury
And I glance to the judge
Its him
The person my heart aches for
He has the deciding vote

I stand and pray
for forgiveness
Its too late
I hear her whisper
Its too late
The girl I recognised wants too yell

The gavel slams
signalling the end  of all discussions
"Guilty as charged"
I plead with my eyes
But his are cold
And they take me away
into a jail of depression and heartbreak

I am alone in this war

nirvana means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world.

Pride is holding your head up, when everyone else has their's lowered. Courage is what makes you do it.

I'll pay your bail anytime. I saw your name on the list and I jumped. Reminds me of that story Laura was writing, once, ages ago.
"If a greater wave shall fall,
Let it fall upon us all."
Beautifully sad Soph, hope to see you very soon, Miss you heaps.

"High above the mucky-muck, castle made of clouds,
There sits Wonderboy, sitting oh so proudly.
Not much to say when you're high above the mucky-muck.
Yeah, yeah.
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?
Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck man? "

I'll take you away from the mucky-muck!
Hollow.

You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin' and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

Hahahaha, Tenacious D, well that's where that one came from.

Couldn't reply to your new one but...I liked it, a little scary (just watched Donnie Darko!), one part reminded me of....

"I'm struggling to keep my head above water in this crazy business." - River Phoenix.
I guess you both felt the same, lucky you.
