Soo this is a poem about my relationship with my mother, it's been 12 months since i've spoken to her and after all the hurt she's put me through, i'm still not ready to take that step...

_______________________________

Trapped Inside Your Darkest Hour

Store the weapons high tonight
There’s a battle on the way
Trapped inside the darkest hour
Will you make it through the day

_____________________________

There was nothing but betrayal
With broken bones she slept
Battered, Bruised and bleeding
Her tired eyes, they wept

She’s acting like the innocent
But her lies they tell the tale
Her kids and husband long gone
She thought she’d never fail

But the letters from the doctors
Prove she’s not sick at all
The cancer and the dying
More lies upon the wall

With nothing but these lonely walls
She’ll live and die alone
Trapped inside this living hell
That she made all on her own

_____________________________

Store the weapons high tonight
Will you make it through the day
Trapped here by your lonely lies
It didn’t have to end this way

I will not comment on your relationship with your mother because that is none of my business.  As a poem this does work and it leaves the reader with an impression, unsettling as it my be.

It' not my place to comment on the intimacies of others; but your poem was powerfully and elegantly wrought.
