I think it's a good read.

What really captured my attention was this line:

"Unconditional trust destroyed by betrayal"

It really brings out the fact the home (in your poem) which is supposed to a citadel of trust,if I may say,
is rather not.And then the little unconditional trust too is shuttered by betrayal.
Perhaps,the home in your poem is not a home because of this very line.I could be wrong? :)

Also the following:

"A casualty of what should have been
But never could be"

It seems to say that the home,if it were a home would allow potential to flourish.

Not a bad poem at all.

A picture of Heartbreak Hotel, not a good picture, I would scream at the borders there to really look at themselves, then go deeper into the sight of that unknown they hide..
A real person that is good and deserves more from life , knows it yet to take that step finds a mountain blocking their way.
The Mountain is as fragile as that pane of glass, and nature turns them to dust, if the mountain is there take more time and walk around it.
A sad piece that is quite common as there are many out there that need something solid to hold onto,
A very good write but as I said sad..

Just dropped in to read this after our Chat last night and was glad I did! You've captured some powerful emotions here and in a way that all can understand and relate to! What more can one ask of Poetry?

This is as dark as most of your work. I do not lament it. It is intense and emotional. The language, as always, is riveting. A marvelously dark and almost frightening piece.
