The Child That Never Seen the Light

I loved him so very much,
And I thought he cared,
And I always thought,
He'd always be there.

And now I know,
How wrong I was,
And everyone thought,
This decision was for the wrong cause.

He had raped me,
When I told him no.
He didn't care,
He just beat me so.

When I found out I was pregnant,
I was so very scared,
The man I loved had left me,
My heart never to be repaired.

I wanted to wait until I was married,
And he said he could wait;
Would he still have raped me,
If he knew his daughter's fate?

I know it was wrong,
To not even let you live,
To ever see
What this Earth has to give.

Every time I thought about you,
I thought of him,
Of what he had done,
And how you were the result of his sin.

I am sorry, my dear child,
This guilt is hard to fight,
I am so sorry that you were the one,
The child that never seen the light.

~By the way, this poem is not true. I don't believe in abortion, but I wrote this open-mindedly about someone who was raped.~
