The One That's Left

when the wronged wife has had enough she snaps and takes the final measure of the man

The One That’s Left

 

It’s all been said and done,

Now that the reactions are gone;

All that is left are the pieces that fell;

The barrel of a dark metal gun,

And one of them left twisting, in a cell.

 

That one had summoned the nerve

To draft a remarkable plan,

Way before it all began;

That was what he had deserved.

 

The law that had come to bear,

The bailiffs that couldn’t care

Saw all of the justice reclaimed,

Saw all of her penance prepared;

To show them the reason she maimed,

The darkness behind her stare.

Don't give up hope Dan, shes giving up on you because your giving up on yourself be strong, you can't tell me to be strong and not follow your own advice.
This piece is heart breakingly sad, and so emotional.
You have wrote your heart out here, I feel all the pain.
This is such a moving piece.
Stay strong push through this. :)

cimmy, this is actually unrelated to my current a*****e behavior. I wrote this last year thinking about my ex-wife. The original version had me doing the killing. Don't worry, I could never do that for real. I labeled this poem Fiction just to try to be clear. thanks...dan
