My body floats in the
coldness, in the absence
of your touch.
My heart stilled,
my ending unwilled.
I will never know the
grace of life, because
to you I never lived.
I grew inside you,
I was fed by you
than as the light
grew, I died.
My heart stopped.
My limbs
ripped ripped ripped
from me.
My flesh,
scraped scraped scraped.
My bones,
popped popped popped
from there sockets.
I was formed by you,
given my own identity.
I was molded, crooned
to live the mirrored life
of my mother.
Mother?? Mother?
You call yourself a
mother?!?! Well I'm
sorry if I'm mistaken,
but I may not have been
born,
but I coulda sworn I
heard laughter,
and music. Hugs and
kisses and bed time
stories. You took care
of me when I was inside
you, but then one day
you gave up on me.
Mother? Mother? You call
yourself a mother!??! I may
not have been born but I
coulda sworn you were to
take care if me, always
be there for me. You just
had to have your way,
didn't you? DIDN'T YOU??
Thought of no one but
YOURSELF.
I could be in your arms
our of harm,
not that you deserve it,
but I guessed I deserved
to be lying here in a bed of
bodies surrounded by those
like me, without a Mother.
