Undeveloped Life

by Chelsey   Jan 21, 2010


Woven together by love
Torn apart by circumstance
It hurts me inside to know
You never had a fighting chance

My emotions crushed and battered
It seems so surreal
An innocent fetus in the making
That the devil had to steal

I know I didn't plan for you
And that I wasn't far along
But I can't help but blame myself
Was it something my body had done wrong?

I'll often wonder what you could have been
What would have been the color of your eyes?
Would you have mine or daddies cheeks?
What would have been the sound of your cries?

A part of me thinks it's a blessing
I wasn't prepared for you to come
But my days are filled with thoughts of you
Honestly, my heart's a little bummed

I can't help but think of what'd it be like
If I had the chance to meet you
Undeveloped life
Nature did what it had to do

Written about a miscarriage. For you sister :)

    "Woven together by love

    I was captivated by the first stanza... Amazing piece. That was truly beautiful. The amount of emotion as well as your perfect choice of words completely leave me speechless.

    I can't help think of what'd it be like

    ^^ I think you meant: 'I can't help but think of what'd it be like' ?? Just seems like you meant to input a word somewhere but forgot it.

    Overall, beautiful write. For someone who hasn't even been through such, you did an amazing job capturing the emotion. Also, you asked a lot of questions; questions that a mother who is going through something such as a miscarriage would ask. And that makes this write even more great. There isnt much more that I can say, other than you are a very talented writer. And the fact that you wrote this for someone else, shows that you are a wonderful person as well.

    Nicely written
    5/5

    I feel in a way this is a lot like my poem, but with a crazy twist. Now its the mother who never had a choice and since she doesn't have a choice neither does the child and nobody can hear their freedom cries :( Excellent job on such a sad topic 5/5

    This brings back a lot of emotional feelings for me, I had a miscarriage at 21, I was very sad and depressed, but as you said, nature did what it had to do, I dont think it was the right time for me and till this day, even after having two beautiful children, I still wonder what baby wouldve looked like... The pain gets easier as time goes on, but the what if is always there. A beautiful, heartfelt and emotional write.
