Notes About The Poem

My Broken Heart Will Never Mend Emotive Write

Tears fall; they cannot mask my pain
grief embedded so deep in my heart.
My stillborn babe, in death he’ll remain
our whole world has just fallen apart.

Taken from BORN SLEEPING - EMOTIVE WRITE

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 4/24/2019 4:57:00 PM I am so glad this is fictional Jan. Losing a child at any age embeds the worst kind of pain. Beautifully poignant and should do wonderfully in the contest. xxoo Login to Reply
