Baby

by Rebecca Bentley   Aug 22, 2012


I don't want to cry anymore,
How do i make it go away.
How do i stop these tears from falling,
Because you couldnt stay.
They said you cannot loose something,
That you never really had,
But that just cannot be true.
Because i wouldnt feel this sad.
The weeks they went so quickly,
That led up to this day.
Every week i prayed religiously
Asking god if you could stay.
Now i look to heaven,
In search of the course.
Where love will teach acceptance.
And take away remorse,
Of why we had to say goodbye,
Because i will never no.
All my dreams were shattered.
We never even said hello.
This longing is unbearable,
I can hardly breathe.
I just want baby,
To stay right here with me.
Inside me you were safe and warm.
How can i let you go?
What it means to say goodbye to you,
No one will ever know.
My world now feels so empty,
My heart now sits in two.
One part is aching in my chest,
The other part has gone with you.

    This really got my tears flowing. This very deeply and personally touched me and I could feel your pain. Pain does not even describe accurately how it feels to lose a child, or to go through a miscarraige.

    The whole poem was very emotional but this part was when my tears burst:

    This longing is unbearable,
    I can hardly breathe.
    I just want my little boy,
    To stay right here with me.
    Inside me you were safe and warm.

    - it makes me think of the thoughts I had about one minute you were there safe and warm and the enxt minute you were gone fromt his life :(

    Such heart wrenching words and a topic very deep and strong and I appreciate this must have been very hard to pen.

    Of why we had to say goodbye,
    Because i will never no.
    - no here should be know.

    5/5, and I thank you for sharing this for others who will relate to this and perhaps seek comfort in knowing they are not alone.
