Come Undone

We whispered over the phone
     "Baby, what are we gonna do?"
     He said "We cant keep it. We gotta delete it"
     The tears filled my eyes, "So, our baby's gotta die?"
     His voice cracked "Im sorry honey, there's no turning back"
We whispered over the phone
     "I love you babe, goodnight."
      He said "Princess, I love you more then my life"
      I said, "Baby, I know you do. Sweet dreams, Ill text you before school"
      "Sweet dreams, Goodnight. Im sorry sweetie, I'll pay for it, alright?"
We hung up our separate phones

I woke up with a start, my jaw hurt from my surgery,
My tummy was making me ready to scream,
I slid my hand down not sure of what was to be,
there was blood all over me, but i hadn't had my period on time,
I had an xray, and when they asked "Any chance of pregnancy" I Lied. 
I fell back to sleep, drifted into dreamless sleep.

"Good morning baby, im in a lot of pain.
Im bleeding baby, it's over, but i hurt."

He said "Maybe thats a good thing honey,
I gotta go to work"

Well, um...the thing is, it is my point of view...im 17, and my boyfriend is 22...So uh, I guess narrating from a younger point of view isnt that hard...and anyways, thats kinda how our conversation went anyway...Thank you to everyone for reading and commenting by the way. I really appreciate it.

Such a painful poem, and the fact that you narrated it from the young girl's point of view made it even more profound. Wonderful. Your friend in poetry, Maya... *
