Left

Pregnant and Alone.

You left me here broken
And took from me
The one thing I vowed to never give anyone
I love you
But you never gave me the chance to say it

I’m pregnant
His feet kick against my hand and I miss you
At night my hand reaches across the bed
And all I find is cool empty space
I wish the hand on my stomach were yours

I hold your hand
And hope that you will grasp it back
The machines beep around you
The doctors push me out
I want you here

He was born yesterday
6 pounds 5 ounces
I wish you were here for us
Your eyes look back at me as I hold him
And I love him for both of us
