Birthmother's Loss

Bodily changes my
Body changes are scary
And I am young
I choose to ignore
Body swells insists
I see emotions confused
Movement! Life! baby. Mine.
Part of me loved by me
I want you
I love you
I will not let go
Why do they say I am no good?
Not good enough
To keep you?
That you need better?
Can’t be
Someone save me.
You are safe inside me
I will not let you go.
Pains terrible pain all alone fear.
Where is Mommy?
Where is Daddy?
Do they know?
Do they care?
I am so alone
So scared till I see you
You’re round and soft dark hair
Brown eyes full of wonder and hope
Your smell so sweet, so new, so innocent
Is my love not enough?
What should I do?
What do you want?
I search for answers where is the miracle?
Who will save us? No one.
We are severed two hearts
Which beat as one?
Torn apart
Mine wishes to cease but cannot
I go along numb and vacant
I learn to pass to function
Even marry
But still having born, children less
An emptiness a gaping hole
Where they tore you from my soul
I search the streets the faces
All happy no one knows my inner pain
My loss, my baby boy, do you know?
Can you help me?
Did you see him? Was he happy?
