Guilty or innocent? It’s hard to know which you are,
your past actions have discredited you.

I remain silent.

Do I take in account the evidence of what is?
Or should I believe you to be a repeat offender?

I remain silent.

Allegations, questions, evidence, doubts, judgments.
This time you’ve taken it to a grandeur scale.

I remain silent.

Cross examination; my objections manifested by my uncontrollable anger
and self destruction; emotionally sequestered.

I remain silent.

Deliberations.
Will my soul be set free to trust again?

I remain silent.

The verdict is in; acquitted.

I remain silent.

My heart left to appeal,
and my soul shackled only to return back to the holding cell which is my love.

I remain silent, eternal.
