Shattering Hopes

My wrapper loose day after day My motion and emotion unstable I forget to think But I wasn’t drunk I remember in a trance Stable I was My wrapper tight on my torso Not divulging the firm breasts I remember vividly when it began to loose Days turned nights The sun withheld its radiance I mourned unending Breasts tumor I had Oh! The pain hurts One more ill has befallen me A spinster at 50 Severally dumped I was By men on trial The life I live was wreaked My heart fell apart Picking up the fossils Amidst courage and optimism Dreadful incidence I traversed Since my birth, early 60’s Aargh! I’m bigoted But utmost myopic I wasn’t sleeping Merely a spinster’s vision When at 52 Men on trial returned I had miscarriages Pains were inflicted 53, I would be The wrapper has slipped off Revealing the sagging breasts My legacy is gone I’ve missed my menses I’ve wept all day I pled against miscarriage But all hope is not lost Because I’m pregnant!
