The Release Of Her Pain
Life is short but this was bigger
This is part two of the poem titled 'The Release Of His Pain'. I've included the link below.
**********************************************************************
She only just heard the news,
The terrible words cut her like a blade,
She knew she was to blame,
Oh, the terrible price he paid.
***
She never dreamed that it’d result in his passing,
The sordid price of her darkness,
Her destructiveness,
Her callousness, her cruelty in all it’s starkness.
***
She never meant to hurt him,
But she was in a bad place at the time,
Now he’s paid the ultimate price,
Oh, it’s her bloody crime.
***
She lifted her glass to her lips,
Endeavouring to stop the constant pain,
The guilt, the horror and her never-ending shame,
A mark on her heart, a rotten stain.
***
The whiskey is not doing as she needs,
His memory is imprinted on her agonising mind,
She’ll never find forgiveness,
Nor is she deserving, she wasn’t kind.
***
She lays back against her pillow,
Holding his picture in front of her face,
As she raises her other hand to her temple,
Pulling the trigger in disgrace.
***
We buried her under the same tree,
So together they Rest In Peace,
We hope she finds her forgiveness,
And her pain is now released.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.

Tragic tale. Very well written on both.
Omggg, certainly did not expect this ending as well. It's so sad! She was in a bad place and hurt him as a result. She then punished herself out of guilt. I hope the both rest in peace 🥺
