A dreadful night, just dreadful-
She felt like a teen age Cinderella-gone-wrong.
Her sigh shuddered.
Her cigarette was out
She had quit months ago anyway...
She turned from the window
Time to go down stairs and check on Ethan.
She stepped back into her heels
and tottered toward the mirror.
Oh my- the left eye was turning a nasty color;
Ice would be good- meanwhile,
She reached into her little purse
A comb came away
and she ran it absently through
the lock that had tumbled out
Managed to free a pin
and tuck it up with the rest.
Oh Mary- I am so sorry-
She bit her lip and reached for the door
Will my sister ever find it in her heart
to forgive me ?

Well, I hope the sister will forgive her. do write a second half.:)this is a nice moody poem.
Heavy with emotions and family drama ~ I do wonder what happened before ~
I'm with Heaven...
Not sure exactly what happened...it doesn't sound good...
really an intriguing read...def leaves one wondering the full story but there is def family drama set to boil in this one...
This might qualify as the ultimate in sibling rivalry!!! Nicely done.
Leaves me wanting more and yet understanding the basic scenario. Good job.
=)
Manages to say a lot with a little. Good "story" poem.
This is intriguing; you’ve got us all wondering- which is very clever.
Can imagine the scene to come..would like more!
Lots of hooks here Izzy. I love the dramatic angst and the clues. Thank you for taking me to this place where I can imagine my own resolution. Well done!
Ooh, mysterious.....yet somehow so grounded! My sister and I go through stages like that. :(
Very clever and a mystery waiting to be heard! Do tell!
oh there is definitely something...I want to hear....
