Chester Bennington’s Widow Shares Beautiful Poem Written by Late Musician

Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington died by suicide in late July, and his family has been mourning the singer ever since, with his widow, Talinda Bennington, sharing her journey with fans on social media.

“I will miss my husband’s poetry to me,” Talinda tweeted Friday along with a link to an Instagram photo of herself captioned by her late husband’s words.

Titled “WOMAN,” the poem begins: “Her eyes are like the arrows / Shot from Cupid’s bow / Her smile like the canyons / I’ve fallen deep below.”

The ode continues, “For I am just a lowly man / All I’ve touched I set a blaze/ And she is like the endless ocean / Washed over me in waves/ Forgiving all that I’ve abandoned / And mends my aching heart / She hangs her flag there high upon / That broken marble arch / Where once there was a great empire / Stretched to the dark/ Defeated with one single blow / My armies cease to march.”

The beautiful words only serve to emphasize Chester’s lyrical talent, something his fans are only too familiar with.

Talinda has also been sharing updates on how her family is coping, recently tweeting that her and Chester’s son, Tyler, draws strength from fan tributes to his dad.

Replying to a fan’s photos of a memorial for Chester, Talinda wrote, “I show every one of these tributes & murals to our son Tyler. He says he feels your love and it gives him strength to be ok.”
