Trigger Warning // Miscarriage

--

In my grief –

I found a poem

and in its stanzas

the baby is speaking

to their mama

about having already

learned their lessons

in love and life

and because their mama

loved them oh so much,

they didn't have to

stay.


In my grief –

I wonder if that's why

you had to go away.

In my grief –

I wonder if I had

loved you a little

less,

wanted you a little

less,

you'd still be here with

me.

In my grief –

I cry

and try to bargain.

In my grief –

I hope you know,

my baby,

just how much

you are loved.
