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.
