Morbidly Ironic

Morbidly ironic
Profoundly apologetic 
To the body that has carried me
Despite the rigorous decrees 
I issued over you
Knowing the stress and restrictions followed were of my own volition 

Here I now kneel, begging the same body I so begrudgingly belittled and bullied 
The body that I starved and overworked
The body I intentionally cut and bruise and burn
The body with the walking death sentence

Now pleading for this same body to produce life

Have I asked too much 
Pushed the boundry of her capabilities 
Exceeded the capacity in her efforts of saving me

Why did I not value you
Take care of you
Love you like I should've 
I now know of your limitations
