In The First Degree
How came I to this lovelorn state
where pain and anguish won't abate
What sins are heaped upon my plate
that cries for mercy can not sate
Now alone and filled with pain
my body weak, my mind insane
No will to live nor love to gain
loneliness and confusion reign
Tis time for me to cop a plea
to murder in the first degree
I killed our love then set you free
and in my pain sought amnesty

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
