In the case of
falling for bar-trash

I plead guilty.

In the case of believing
your feeling for me to be genuine

I plead guilty.

In the case of breaking
my walls down for you

I plead guilty.

In the case of assuming
you had a spine

I plead guilty.

I have the following statement:
 
  I plead guilty to all of the above charges. It is true that I rejected the idea of you and I at first but eventually learnt to embrace it. It is true that you confessed to me the way you felt. I blame myself for believing any lies which passed from your sweet lips. I confess to living a life of feeling and passion and love instead of cruelty, cheating and games. It is true that I am forlorn but am far from desolate. I will rise above this. I will bank the time. I will succeed.

As punishment for my crimes
I am sentenced to find someone worth loving,
with the chance of falling for someone lame again
after serving 5 years.

Adjourned.
