I never meant to do it!
I thought I could get away with it.
Her beauty was driving me crazy!
Stirring in me nasty thoughts and cravings
I was there laying next to her
Wishing that the intensity of my many nights never would have been!
Feeling dirty, feeling cheap I knew I had committed a sin
I washed away her and many others’s pureness
And burned the clothes to a crisp
Then I ran, ran, ran away
But the police captured me the second day
Now I stand here behind bars
I stand here ready to face all the racial wars
But behind this metal cage
I can see the prisoners eyes stare at me with rage
They know what I did to that beauty
They want to avenge the parents loss they think its up to them their last civil duty
Click! Click the metal door slides open and I step back
Thump! Thump my heart loudly beats
But I do not make a sound when the angry mob with homemade knives attack
Hot then cold so much pain to bear
Their faces are now getting distorted and they stand tall with a glazy stare
I was sick and hated myself every time
But now I lay here scared and waiting for death my soul to collect
I lay here waiting for the blackness to resurrect and take me for the committed crime
Slowly, slowly I wither away
Pain, more pain and everything turns grey
No more air! Can’t breathe! I am suffocating!
Their faces now familiar ready for revenge, waiting! Waiting! Hating!

Written from the perspective of he who commited the crime... very intriguing. This really made me stop and think. I had to read it several times over. I find it disturbing but that is just a sign of a well-written poem. Good job doll.

Encaptivating!
The rhymes were simple, but this was a very well written poem. It would make a good song with the right chorus. I liked it quite a bit!

7.5/10
