Tears
soak this pillow
as I lay here
remembering.
My blanket
reminds me
of the first time
I slept soundly
in your arms here.
So much love
was made.
So many laughs
were heard.
And you held me
as I cried.
If we had known then
would you have came back to me
for more
than a few nights?
I'm left here alone
and I hold my stomach
tighter
as I feel
the soft thump
of our baby.
I'm breaking apart
but trying so
to hold together
for her.
I need you.
