Ignorance

by Rachel   Apr 19, 2004


Who wants to talk about a baby that's not here,
Who wants to listen to me re-live all my fears?

Who remembers my baby like i do?
Who can see her pretty eyes, she never looked through?
Has he forgotten too?

He can't ignore the truth,
Pretend it never happened,
Unfortunately he seems to think,
That will prevent him from being saddened.

Just babies ourselves, too young for it to work,
Our child who was once alive, stolen, from us, he took, her.

She didn't even live a minute,
Nor take her first breath,
All because it was our fate,
For her, we will always miss.

I see the other babies and i wish she was still here,
So when she cried or whimpered i could hold her near.

But this is all impossible,
It's all completely unforgettable,
And she's gone from my arms forever.

I miss her dark brown hair,
And her glossy stare,
Her eyes fixed forever onto mine,
Wishing i could see her, just one last time.

I sit by her grave, Crying empty tears,
Wondering how my life will change,
Over all the coming years.

I stare at her name, engraved in the stone,
Wishing i could pick her up and take her home.

But that will never be, as she's not meant to be with us,
God planned out my life,
And she's gone, because he needs her up in heaven.

I just hope she can see me, when i lie down at night,
Thinking of my baby,
That's now nowhere in sight...
