Without hope, and lacking love,
like warmth in a winters breeze,
frustrated, and bitter she cries...
pushing away everyone she see’s.
Black streams taunt her reflection
as she wipes every tear away.
Still hoping she will meet a man,
that will somehow want to stay.
Two children hers, age 6 and 9,
know fully their mothers pain.
So desperate for a loving touch,
Yet, disappointment is all they gain.
Lost in limbo, she deny’s the joy
that her children could surely bring.
Refusing the blessings of parenthood...
out again for a one night fling.
Left all alone the children play.
Yearning for a loving home.
Together they make a family,
beneath their play house dome.
Katie, (Nine) the caring mother.
Tommy, (Six) the working dad.
Sing lullabies to their dolls.
A comfort they wish they had.
With tears in their swollen eyes,
they make themselves a bed.
Hand in hand they fall to sleep.
Cold visions within their head.
Nothing changed throughout their lives.
A cruel bitterness is what was sown.
They now follow their mothers example,
with needy children of their own.

I find this incredibly sad, mostly because it can be so true. This happens a heck of a lot, children can only follow an example and so it just goes round and round.
I like this. I do think that it jumped a little at the end, from being children to being parents, and I would have expected perhaps one more stanza but I still think it works.
Good flow, good work.
