Tired

The feeling seems to have taken over the house.
   The constant effort is taking a toll.

This is the result of constant support.

Easiest way to explain,
  is to share a moment.

My mother was on the edge of tears.
   Why you may ask?

Her husband's sister finally called.
   She was afraid to call.
       She didn't want to break down and cry.

Do you appreciate the situation?

It feel like constantly walking on eggshells.
   You know eventually there will be a crack.
