The Story of Her Life

It seems like the darkness, Risking tears, - erasing the prayers So sensitive, kissing away all the fears Dancing through the leaves, enchantment Like winds, collecting all the light In gently flowing moon song, beads of hope Glistening on the night, starlight Reflections, brilliant and alive, surviving Eternal infections, abiding on the spirit Who listens as the wind forsakes the past With its expressions of graceful wishes, Collecting on the endings, the storybook Endings, blowing in the breeze Stirring up the miracles, covering every Need with a feeling, a feeling meant to be Peace, sweet peace falling over the land, Resonating on the seas, waves tossing Tumbling with the melancholy in the grief It is the grief that sees… Grief, such grief – spellbound, she grieves Erasing the mystery with her doubts, Her sorrow like a pool of blood, dark and crimson Flowing from the wounds who revealed The truth – his heart was cruel. He was vicious A criminal. A crime, the destruction of a life, A sentence of life would never suffice What he had done – what he had done was The craziest darkness, a dark more ominous Than the sinister in his shadow, the doom Predicting his heartless war, a war with himself Bleeding into another’s breath when he Took away her breath, cut away her smile, Left her lifeless body – motionless, frozen in time Her memory, her sacrifice – his ending To the story of her life! for Monica

A tragedy full of drama and emotions, told so well in your engaging poetry, Gina. It made me sad to hear these words, my heart hurts for both people in this tragedy. Thanks for sharing, my friend. Bill

It was a tragedy in my hometown, where she lived and died. Such a tragedy, so unnecessary and disturbing. She was the daughter of one of my best friends and she was a lovely girl. So sad. He was surely evil. Thank you for commenting. God bless you. Love, Gina
