Tangled Memories

Tangled Memories

Torn tears upon tattered cheeks
Helpless, she holds to her strength
Screaming soul and hopeless heart
There is no where left to run

The same scenario, just this time she's father
As her mother sits by his aching side
She stumbles to the floor, bruises over her aura
And curses the heavens for what they did to him

A heart monitor beats, and she does not hear it
His fate is known to everyone but her.
Blind as can be, every one keeps their smiles on
Only to shatter with in mangled thoughts

Flashing back to what once was
Watching her father as he drinks to his pain
As her mother lay there in the hospital bed
...And she took upon her self to be their mother

Three weeping sisters, with no where to hide
She holds them all close, lets not a tear show
For she knows if she does, it will all fall apart
...and now does she have to be their father too?

With a smile on her face, and a tear in her aura
She steps into the house, knowing the pain inside
Will she be able to do is, as she did so many years ago
...Or will she fail, and let her tears show?

    I like how you left the end of the poem open and the reader can create their own ending. I also liked the imagery you used, especialy in the first few lines. I think you could use elipses (like you did in the last three stanzas) throughout the entire poem, and it would be a little more powerful.
    Nice poem,

    Wow.. this poem, totally beautiful. It captured my heart whenever I read it and brought up a lot of sad emotions. I could picture the entire scene happening in my heart, it was definitely a heart breaking. I'm sure a lot of teens and other people will be able to relate to this piece, I am unable to personally. But it was still amazing nontheless, great job! 5/5 <3 <3 <3
