Tears of the mother
who realizes what she's lost.
Tears of the father
who sees his girl fight.
Tears of the daughter
who endures the pain.
Tears of the sister
watching a family fall apart.
Tears of the boyfriend
knowing he can do nothing.
Tears of the uncle
hating the decisions made.
Tears of God
watching his creation destroy itself.

This is really sad, the implications of the wording release many emotions into the poem. It doesn't tell you what is going on exactly; yet, it does imply things, which make this a very interesting read. For, in not saying straight out, it allows the reader to decide what he/she wants too. Excellent job, it stretches our imaginations in interesting ways…

I, also, like how this is kind of short, yet, in being short it says a whole lot that you would miss in a longer poem, because now you have to study every word and take it to a deeper level… Great job in writing this, I really, really, enjoyed reading this one.

Thanks for sharing!
