![]() Like Mother Like DaughterA Poem by VannahBananaBreak even. Like ice on my back, An upcoming shiver. I bite my lip, Imposingly bitter. Another strike on my back. This lake in the winter. It’s a mystery to why I’d ever jumped at all. But I knew instantly Reality was worse than the fall. Is it a fall if I jumped? Did she jump, or did she fall? Ice swallows me whole As I go back under. I’ve taken my soul To a rapture that thunders. Why should I break Due to this stress? What will relieve This pain in my chest? The beat to my heart Has leaved me alone. I call out her name Which replies with no tone. “Mom!” I cry, But I swallow more ice. “Mom!” I scream, No one hearing my cries. As my life unfolds, I recognize this dream, This dream to see the things that won’t be. She’ll never be back. She’ll never be known. I’d rip out my heart Just to have it re-sewn. As the ice breaks, My heart will race. I spit and sputter With no cries to mutter. My mind hangs hollow A break I’ll never follow.© 2012 VannahBananaReviews
