She had everything
A beautiful face
A boyfriend
That showed
Signs of abuse
In their early
Dating days.
But she couldn’t bring herself
To walk away she was so in love
With him! She would’ve done anything
To please him she just wanted
To make him happy in every way!
Until one day he pulled a gun
On her and told her he’d kill
Her if she ever thought of
Leaving him. She
Thought he was playing with her
When he made that statement.
Until one day things went too far
Before she could say a word
Her abusive boyfriend had
Pulled out a gun and shot
And killed her mother!
And then shot her point blank
Straight in the face
So she is now known to many
People as the woman
Without a face!
But she doesn’t deserve
To be known as that
She’s more like a hero
For people in the world
Today!

An interesting retelling of a news item, but no "poetic" quality. Just because it is structured in a vertical column with oddly broken lines does not make it a poem.
