Array ( [sid] => 157807 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => 25 to Life [time] => 2010-02-27 19:05:10 [hometext] => True poem... sad ending... [bodytext] => You said that you were there for drugs,
That was why you went that day,
Drugs are an awful reason,
Everything went that way.

You said you were trying to save her,
To stop him from being mean,
Now you are in prison,
Is the truth as it may seem.

That knife you had in your pocket,
Took an innocent man's life,
Now I have to know you through bars,
To bare this is so much strife.

I used to come to visit,
I just met you, you know,
But trying to live with your sadness,
Is too hard I have to go.

I believe your sentence was right,
I believe that it was fair,
But that doesn't change the fact,
I am here and you are there.

Life is such a long time,
To live behind bars,
You will never see me in real,
Or even night time stars.

I seem to feel for you,
Some of your frustration and pain,
But by living in your guilt,
I have nothing ever to gain.

I wish you hadn't killed him,
I wish he were still alive,
Then i might have you,
At home, my daddy, by my side.
