Missed Her Period

MISSED HER PERIOD SO she called at dawn By then I was around cloud nine in a certain lovely lawn Her groans and tears were so loud to make me vacate sleep When my eyes opened, From arm's length her emotions were so deep So I asked, 'what are you doing here? It's late' 'I missed my period' she categorically did state What? I fearfully asked She said ' I couldn't menstruate ''I used to flow at least every day But it's been week since my ink felt paper'' My eyes became flooded Her emotions got her impregnated I starved her of my contraceptive hands Whiles I watched her in her idle state with my naked eyes Now, She's missed her period. She wanted to abort But I said no to that future effort So she was delivered of that beautiful baby Invested me with an additional responsibility My lexicon I ought to increase For my words ought to be enough, To satisfy both her and her baby.
