| I feel your body’s warmth. I hear your heart’s beating. I sense a raw tension, And my mind keeps seeking. Seeking to understand My resistance to leave The shelter of your womb. I beg for a reprieve. Please give me just a chance To make you cherish me. I do love you, mommy Unconditionally. I see my time is up. I must enter the world. Out, yes, out I must go. My naked body unfurled. Laid out for all to see My story, a tragedy. For your heart yearns not For your newborn baby. My lungs scream for some air, But nothing is received. A numbing fear grips me. You loved me, I once believed. I am so very wrong, For you have covered my lips With something quite sticky. And slowly my life slips. Slips into the darkness So bitter, so hostile. Bring me back to the warmth. Please, for a little while. Rather, I’m tossed aside. Left in the cruel shadows. Ignored and forgotten, I’ve lost the great battle. The battle for my life, For I grow very cold. I give my lips to kiss, And my body to hold. The offering is declined. My life is rescinded. My heart grows very still, For my spirit has ascended. And God shall remember My simple innocence. And thus he’ll pull me out Of the darkness so dense. Placed into paradise Within a sound embrace I feel only happiness Everlasting in this place. |
