My Daughter Katie

I grew so close to you
You were apart of me
I couldn't last a day without you
Because you were everything to me

I watched everything I ate
No medicines I would take
I was so bloody careful
For your's, my daughter's sake

I felt you grow inside of me
We had a bond, no one could share
The love I had for you daughter
Is a love that is so very rare

Then came that night
That my dad came home
I could hear the slur in his voice
The drunkeness in his moan

I was slammed against that dresser
My heart just near died
But then I realized you were o.k
I was so joyful that I cried

But the doctor told me
That I must stay calm
Or that I would miscarry
And I wouldn't be a mom

But then I took that phone call
And there was so much blood
I felt a stabbing pain within me
My tears were like a flood
