I Wish I Never Had
Alone and floppy with nothing to wear
Silently, I left you there
But I wish I never had
The marks of lifesaving staining your skin
I couldn’t dress you one last time
But I wish that I had
I saw you again, just once more
In your birthday dress
That you were too young to wear
I left you there
In that cold white room, then in that small white box
But I wish I never had
