I don't like to talk about it

Trigger  Warning // Miscarriage

--

I don't like to talk about it –

not because you're not important

because you are.

I don't like to talk about it –

because I'll miss out

on your entire life

for the rest of mine.

I don't like to talk about it –

because every day I wonder

who you would have been

and

what you could have done.

I don't like to talk about it –

because my baby is gone.

I don't like to talk about it –

because 2018 was supposed to be the

year of your firsts.

First

            Valentine's Day.

            Saint Patrick's Day.

            Fourth of July.

            Halloween.

             Thanksgiving.

              Birthday.

I don't like to talk about it –

because of the stigma

"you can have another"

"maybe something was wrong"

"the father/timing/age wasn't right."

I don't like to talk about it –

because to be quite frank:

the stigma is bullshit.

I don't like to talk about it –

because

I wanted my baby.

That baby.

You.
