Mother
I have become you
Your putrid words spill from my lips
And now she cries;
I am meant to protect her
But now her heart
Lies broken on the floor
She has become me
This could have been prevented.
I shouldn't have become you,
But I did.
Edit: removed needlessly complicated vocabulary. Lines 9 and 10 have been revised as suggested. Employed conservative use of punctuation for lines 3, 8, 9, 10.
