Death Before Birth

jesus tell me how a life so pure,
so sweet 
could be ripped apart before it could start
a baby's life torn at the seams 
do you know how this will haunt me, 
how it will burden my innermost dreams 
I feel life slipping from me aswell as I sink lower in this deep depression, 
the bubble of air rises in my throat but the words I wish to say wont form, 
why dare you take its life. 
My child that was never to be born.

   but even I as I lay here trying to accept what I know to be true
I can only be so human enough to beg,
to get on my knees and wish all the pain away, 
to you oh my lord, 
to pray...
