I can't live without...


Her eyes accomplish with atomized tears as her fears become true.

Her beloved son has became a thug while her baby girl needs love.

Her oldest has turned to violence and liquor as he fights the urge to hit her.

The holes in the wall say it all.

She has failed as a mother.

So it seems as her son becomes incarcerated because he wanted to be faded.

And her darling daughter becomes lonesome with boredom.

Carefully she rebuilds her shattered life,

Slowly she moves foreword,

Like it was torture

 To grab her boys back in

As They clawed at her skin.

No sense being nice

She clings them like lice.

She is trying to beat the statistic

Which is horrific

Almost terrific.

She is a middle-aged single mother to three children who have lost themselves in

Drugs

Who think it will feed the love

That they need from the sperm carrier

The traitor.

It's okay.

She is the human being, the thing, the one.

I cannot live without.

Murdered from her old life.

Only she can become her own wife.

The thoughts get stronger as she gets weak.

Her cancer is off the leash.

Even God cannot save her.

Righteous only can.

 

Of coarse, she lives.

Fairly beaten but not broken.

 

Miraculous she is safe.

I fall apart.

No one can live without her.

Everyone is indulged by her love.

So, do not take my mother.
