A smile
cracked her face in half
Right
down
the middle

Don't hold your breath
it won't last long
her fingers are already
growing tighter
around the glass

How could you tell?
she thought she hid it so well
but oh
For those winter days

The glass falls to the floor
and a laugh squeezes
through the air
constricted.
Lips stained red
at the edges

She sways
to the music in her head
kneeling in front of me
saying nothing but
"please, please, please"
with tears in her eyes
and 'love' in her throat

"She's a lovely woman
such a trooper
raising a child on her own"

they don't see her
with her head in the toilet
Eight different men a week.

They don't see me
either.

The CA forum can move pretty slow sometimes. It's late now but I'll try to get back tomorrow. Maybe someone else will sooner.

It seems you have two different poems here... and I believe you need a few more concrete images in there. The 1st half is different the after a little bit the poem changes, almost as if there were two writers
