Poem

Althroughout childhood, you would  talk about your love story 
 how when you’re older 
“you just know! you just know!” 
but when I told you I was engaged, 
the story changed
 it wasn’t love but pregnancy
 that brought the two of you together.
 What about this WONDEROUS love 
that brought the both of you together?
 But instead, it was a child conceived out of wedlock
 whispers of love and promises, only said in tangled up sheets
 but, when it’s all said and done, they fade away.
 I wonder is there ANY resentment from HAVING to get married? 
Did you cry when the child was dying 
And “have to” marry this man was leaving your body?
 Why did you go through with it? 
Of course, you gasped and couldn’t understand why,
 his and my love 
because sadly, you’re never felt it. 
Those tear stained faced nights 
And fleeing for safety 
Our close knitted bond 
and waking up to screaming 
your entire life thrown out 
ALL for a lie
for a baby that didn’t even survive. 
Mom, did you cry? Did you cry? Did you cry?
Mom, did you cry on your wedding night? 
And why did you follow through with the lie? 
Why didn’t you pick up and leave once the child died? 
run run run 
run away from the fear and hollowed pain
 run from the sex that was considered to be ”love”
 which is far from the same 
no wonder you fear that your daughter is doing the same
 You tell her she can leave 
 she doesn’t have to stay 
would you tell yourself that on your wedding day? 
you tell me that we can stay engaged
for as long as we need no rush you plea
do you wish you did the same?
Panic clenches and grips your vocal cords.
Mom, did you cry on your wedding night?
