Glass House: The Good Mother.

Glass House: The Good Mother.

Cheapish grins across their face,
She knows somethings not right.
But, a family is needed as of now
the others died once upon a night.

A huge house on top of a hill,
beauty outside, barren inside.
Illness overcomes a little one,
and, oh so loud he once cried.

Fears are building up, secrets being kept.
She is locked inside that cold basement.
With poisoned food being tossed to her
from the witch to the cold, hard cement.

Her brothers getting worse,
there is nothing she can do.
The only one than can save her,
is the man who got them trough.

Visits upon visits, no one's ever home.
Excuses, he knows somethings wrong.
Finally he waits, outside of that house..
it just so happens, he doesn't wait long.

Once again she tries to escape.
with the little one in her hands.
She does not care who will see,
for she needs to leave this land.

A bullet through her chest,
by her one and only lover.
They've escaped to freedom
From that glass house and
The good mother.

    And, oh so loud he once cried.
    [I don't know why but this stuck out to me. Eh. =)]

    is the man who got them trough.
    [I think you mean "through.}" =)]

    Visits upon visits, no one's ever home.
    [Again, it stuck out to me. Nice. That's hard to do.]

    it just so happens, he doesn't wait long.
    [Awkward sentence, but you need it. I'd say "...happens, but" or "...happens; he" ... grammar there.

    Anyways, I like the poem, and I loved the odd random scheme of the last stanza. But, I didn't really get it. Sorry. I've never seen the movie. I won't vote, since I haven't seen it, to make it fair.
