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.
