Act of Passion

Wall to wall blackness, even the sun wasn't out, it felt like the whole world was mourning. She was taken from this life too young, and from my side too soon, I could barely hold myself up as I stood to take the stand. On trail for murder, an act of passion my lawyer told me to plead; I don’t think anyone in this room could comprehend the passion that sparked between us, let alone this jury of loveless losers.
