Bombshell from Contender by The Lowcocks

Slamming doors 
from the latch he said he would fix
she found the note that said 
"it wasn't your fault"
the windowsill it held 
one fingernail

like a burning ember
like a broken man
like desperation
like a bombshell
like a flying bottle
like a dropping star
like the last bullet
like a bombshell

he said her name as he fell

shutting doors
keeping in the shame
that won't die
she burns inside
she wakes up from the same nightmare
the scream that rips out
from her throat

like a burning ember
like a broken man
like desperation
like a bombshell
like a flying bottle
like a dropping star
like the last bullet
like a bombshell
