"A Daughter's Lament"A Poem by Elnnes ScholtzThis poem captures the profound sadness, feelings of betrayal, and longing for a mother’s love that the daughter experiences amidst the pain of her mother’s choices.A Daughter's Lament In the shadows of a broken home, You held the bottle like it was gold, Your promises faded like whispers in air, You’d stumble in, with tears in your eyes, Now cancer grips you, the tables have turned, You gave up your children for alcohol’s kiss, I remember the nights when you’d leave me alone, Now I stand here, a stranger to you, I wish for the days when you held me tight, You’re fighting your battle, but what about mine? So here in the silence, I grieve and I ache, © 2024 Elnnes ScholtzFeatured Review
