unborn
i still remember
the joy i felt
when i laid eyes on
those life-changing two lines
i rushed to tell your father
we were ecstatic
and tried to grasp the reality that we were parents
and then we made a video from us to you
loved ones were delighted
grandparents were relieved
you see, we didn't want children
and then we did
one autumn afternoon
i saw a deluge of red
a kind neighbour drove me to the hospital
we drove in silence
your father met us there
my doctor gently tells us
there's no heartbeat
my heart shattered
i mourned
i picked up the pieces
you were six weeks old
but you were already my child
i will never forget you
i will never forget losing you
you will forever be a part of me
my darling
unborn
