Cheated By Life
The sweet faced girl
approached her sister,
"I come to you with a message:
I know you fuck and love him.
I know he does the same.
I'd just assume kill you
and my cheating husband."
Before she pulls the trigger
pressed to her lips,
She whispers through her tears,
"Instead, I'll kill the messenger. "

@Jack,i think its more of the pain of the humiliation than Jealousy.
Yes you let go,but how do you live with that knowledge everyday?Also of knowing that everybody else knows that you you were not good enough coz that's the mentality the audience* carries,"its the victim fault" They say."You drove him to cheating...."
MMMhhh!Good question jack!This would be a great discussion...!

This poem was written for a comp. The originator of the forum wanted us to write about the idea of "killing the messenger" but as part of the prompt wanted a twist. I've read many literary pieces where the messenger is killed, to send a message but never where the messenger kills themselves to send the message. Also, I had in mind that leaving your husband and ending your relationship with your sister would feel like relationship suicide. I love this forums thought provoking discussions. Writers need discussions like this. Thanks as always. xo

Wow...powerful, sad ink... I can't imagine the immense hurt
that would drive one to kill themselves over a
unfaithful partner... Me? I'd probably be moved
to do something stupid but not something that bad...

Suicide is a very strong topic. I defiantly do not write on the subject lightly. It's a hard sad part of the human existence. I work with a suicidal population and my experience has been that the individuals truly do not see another way out. Very intense and very sad. Thanks for stopping by.

This is potent and concise.
It has no excess words what so ever.
And what a perfect story to get an emotional response out of the reader.
I felt it in the pit of my stomach.
