Evil Revenge

Seal pup eyed,
forgiveness she cried.
Mistakes were made
but deceit and lies
remain to blame
for where she now lays.

Bludgeoned to death
by a word made club.
Born of revenge
for sins to my heart,
punishment fits
her backstabbing ways.

She took the kicks
but wasn't aware
the blows came from me.
Slanderous jibes
to colleagues and friends
tore down her life.

The breakdown befits
her crime to mock.

She sought my shoulder.
Comfort I gave;
"Pills are the answer,
they numb the pain.
Swallow the bottle,
vodka will help"

Following my call
tragic news came.
Oh no what a shame,
I won that game.

It'svery deep even if I don't understand a few lines, however the parts I do understand provide a very eye-opening poem. Nice Job!
