Taken

Taken



Unexpected excitement consumes,
Overjoyed, overwhelmed, terrified.
From love comes life,
A miracle.

Raw emotions, dumbfounded,
Tight-lipped preserving uncertainty.
Outside sources causing strain,
Nauseated with nonsense.

Camera shy, gender concealed,
Gestation ceases abruptly.
A  heart with no beat,
Wails of mourning.

Inconsolable emptiness, 
Souls take flight.
They held my hand,
Not meant to be.
