Dark and twisted
Stunning and tragic
The number unlisted
Its just like magic
How quietly we scream
Our words cryptic
Its such a short dream
With cuts to bind
Oh my! how faceless we seem
How many lines does my grandmother's cardigan hide?
This I wonder
Did she lie?
Did she blunder?
Did she fall?
Was her heart torn asunder(somewhere on the road of life)?
Is that why the sadness tinges her drawl?
Can clothing conceal the dark red tears?
Is that why she always wears a shawl?
No, this is not amongst my fears
For a critically fractured youth
She is too far on in years
Is my red truth a sign?
Does no grandma have a critical flaw to hide?
Does this blemish signify the end of my lifeline?

If it is meant to let the mind wander, then you did a terrific job. I love your rhyming, it seems to just flow, yet it was a bit confusing, perhaps that is what you were going for! Great poem regardless!
