I Just Said Nothing

Your Life began for me when the mention of the possibility of your existence presented.  
When my seed fertile the egg and the blue print of life took on form, you were alive to me. 
The insecurity of the one responsible for your transformation fell prey to ignorance 
disguised.  The voices that dictated the decision, that directed the choices, believed that they 
were speaking in the best interest.  How ever, the world views of the conception of life 
matters little to me.  
I weep; that I will not see smiles, hear laughter or cry’s, experience the touch when you grip 
my finger with your little hand.  Robbed of the embraces I will never receive, because of 
babble from empty spaces between ears.  Believing they will keep alive a dream by 
destroying one in the making.  “Do the right thing”, was the fraise used out of content by 
injudicious people with selfish ideals, looking into futures that are not theirs.
Having love for someone never known, not being able to share feelings never felt.  The tiny 
phantom kisses that haut my dreams awakening me from my slumber, to a world missing 
you.  I cannot imagined the pain your little body felt while heartless physicians thinking, no 
life no pain, snatched creations essence. 
What will become of the spirit, looking for the soul mate that will never respond to its call?  
Looking into the depths of all eyes, they pass, for a glimpse of something familiar to hitch 
their life too.  A life unfulfilled missing the beauty that should have been theirs and the 
feelings they will never share.
I tiptoe past empty shadow filled rooms listening for the sounds of life, humbling silence; I 
surrender and accept that you will never be mine to hold, spoil or watch grow.  Forgive me 
for not taken control and standing against the powers that were.  I had a say in what should 
have happened, I just said nothing.
