A Missing Heartbeat

Mother, I, did wish to be, of two, a girl for me, a boy for you. We had a fine lad so true, I should have gone for two. You’re gone, so is he, no second me no sweet she to please me. If I had done what I had wished trusted us with a second gift there'd be some company a nest full with thee a family now there's me. Father didn't want another "joy" He had achieved his lovely boy a lifetime passed as did he always working not free I'm alone, not he, solitary lonely me.
