Hypothalamus

My hypothalamus is haunting me.

An empty crib.

A bump that will never grow.

Love authenticity, you will always be a part of me.
A ghost in the hallways.

Your heart beat in my deepest quetiapine dreams.

A scan that will never show your sweetest echo.

Father, why would you make me bleed the love so pure?
I lost my voice from speaking you into existence.

He runs his fingers over my stomach my breath hitching, hoping yours is too.

My hypothalamus is haunting me.
