It Wasnt Meant To Be

The day I found out about you
I didn't know what to do 
I broke down and cried 
Because I knew I couldn't have you

I went home that night 
more scared then ever
I fell asleep holding onto you
And you made me feel better. 

I woke up the next morning 
saying good morning to you
I ate a full breakfast
So that you could be full too.

During the weeks 
I kept you protected 
kept you warm and safe 
from the unexpected 

As I laid holding my belly,
looking at the moon
I realized my baby, 
that I have fallen in love with you

My son, my daughter, my unborn love
You are a gift sent to me and daddy from above 
I have learned a love like no other 
And that's the love between a child and mother, 

Baby, tonight is my last night with you
Tomorrow you will be with someone new 
His name is GOD 
and he is expecting you 

To my unborn child
who I will never get to meet
I hope when you’re in heaven 
You will forgive daddy and me. 

We wanted to keep you here, 
but it wasn't meant to be 
So for now until we meet again-I’ll keep you in my dreams
I love you and I'm sorry

A unique take on a very controversial subject. You are brave to come out with this write! I do hope it's fiction. Otherwise, let me just offer a 7 and my hugs! Kim :)

Your words transfer their energy to this poem and establish the mood and theme of this piece, as one of love and sorrow co-mingled. I can't find anything to fault and therefor there remains only one thing to say....Well done! Emile #7
