Her bubbly smile had vanished
Pale as pristine snow her face bereft of emotions
She gazed blankly
Quick as lightening she jumped to her feet and bolted indoors
They pursued her in haste
Shut door awaited them. They panicked
Anxiety heightened he was a mess
Thinking on her toes
She prized open the door
what met her eye broke her heart
A shivering heap gasping for breath
Mukkus messed up state proclaimed
The face she looked upto for answers
Was writhing in pain
The raspy breath, endless tears, pierced her heart
Maternal instinct drove her to hold the shuddering form in a tight embrace
Some thing is terribly amiss she noted
Unable to evoke from him an answer
She screamed his name
Tottering he came by tears unabashedly stained his face
He stumbled and steadied himself as he fell
A pandoras box of woes unfolded
Spine chilling was throwback tale
She rocked the frail survivivor of a horrendous marriage
Which of the siblings suffered more
Was hard to tell
Both needed a shoulder to lean, a heart that sensed and eased their pain
Her role clear she steadied them both
Praying for solace
