Side Poem -- Come Undone
Later, her phone is ringing again
She says "Baby, whats up, its like 3am"
Hes got tears in his eyes "Im sorry" he says
She asks him for what, and he starts to cry again
"Our baby just died, and I said barely two words,
I was just scared, and didnt want to let it hurt
Im sorry you went through that, and that I couldnt be there
It'll be okay next time, we'll keep it I swear."
She shushes his fears and wishes his tears away
"I know honey, its okay...we'll make up for it one day"
Shes hiding the tears that pour down her face
"lets go to sleep together, and make sweet dreams"
He stops crying, and imagins her in his arms,
She stops hurting and falls asleep in his heart...
