Forever Gone
Loss, they say, is life's design,
A wound that time heals with gentle hand.
But what of grief that cuts so deep,
Leaving hidden scars, though unseen.
You tell me to move on, to get over it,
Time soothes the ache and pain's sharp grit.
But loss from my womb is different, gone,
A part of me, forever lost; forever strong.
My soul, heart, and every breath are now gone,
Longing for what will never be.
Only I knew the kicks, movements within,
Memories etched, forever locked in.
Don't say it's okay, don't speak at all,
Just hold me, let silence's comfort fall.
You didn't feel life inside my womb,
Our morning chats, love's sweet, gentle boom.
You didn't know dreams I made,
Future plans, memories played.
Don't tell me it's okay; don't lie,
It will never be okay; he's forever gone
