My Womb

What can I say
God what can I do
Please keep our baby forever next to you
All of my hurt and all of my fears
Are now coming out in a million different tears
My heart is weeping
My spirit; needing
My body feels as if it were screaming
Just one look
Only one touch
You're our baby girl and we love you so much
I now feel empty
So barren inside
This is a feeling I wish I could hide
Was it my fault
God what did I do
Why did my womb have to be our baby's tomb

Bleeding for you

There is really nothing I can say to help this hurting. My parents lost my sister when I was four. Fragmented memories are all I have. Memories of two of the strongest people I know weeping, crying out for meaning. I'm sorry for the loss of your baby. Your poem needs recognition for the bravery you have shown writing and posting this in the face of a disaster few know and none should ever have to face.

Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so, too.
-Voltaire
