Family

We used to be a complete family.

There was once four of us.

But then,

the seventeen year old took his life

and it broke my mother's heart.

She suffered so severely 

and then

my mother lost her life to drugs

and it broke my heart.

There was once four of us,

but now,

we're an aching family of two.

Poetically, I like this. It is short, succinct and pulls at the emotions. My sort of poem.
