Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: The Unfinished Masterpiece

In the art gallery, a peaceful room I find

Where my mother's masterpiece is enshrined

A sculpture of her, without a left eye

Seemingly taken by someone, oh my

It stands in the center, a work of art

But to me, it pierces my broken heart

For behind the beauty, lies a tale so sad

Of a mother lost, a life gone bad

The sculpture remains unfinished, incomplete

A reflection of her tragic defeat

Before she could finish, she bid farewell

Leaving behind a story to tell

The missing eye, a symbol of her pain

A reminder of her final refrain

She took her own life, in a moment of despair

I gazed at the sculpture, with tears in my eyes

Aching to hear her voice, her comforting lies

But all I see is her silent form

Forever frozen in this artful storm

The audience marvels at the sight

But to me, it's a haunting plight

A reminder of loss, of grief so deep

Of memories that still make me weep

I touch the sculpture, feeling her presence near

Holding onto the piece that she held dear

Her spirit lingers, in every crevice

A mother's love, forever in my remembrance

In the art gallery, in the peace room

I find solace in the silent gloom

My mother's masterpiece, a bittersweet sight

A sculpture of her, both day and night

I cherish her memory, in every breath

Holding onto the love that conquered death

In the art gallery, I find my peace

In the masterpiece that will never cease
