Tried to rate your poem a 10, but there's no where here to do it! Just a blank space. RoseAnn
Whoa! ! ! ! This poem is so intense, David! Amazing write, yet very heart-wrenching at the same time. Felt intense anger at the mother for treating her son so badly and his girlfriend!

A sad, sad story expressed so well. Thank You
