its 4 am and you're still alone
laying in bed
as far away from sleep as possible
how could he do this to you?
anxiety pulses through your veins
anger flows through your heart
and confusion paralyzes you
you love him
and you thought he loved you
but here you lie alone
carrying his child
while he's out with her
you wonder what his excuse will be this time
what dirty lie will come out his mouth
the mouth you have kissed
and loved
he belongs to you
and he's out with her
the confusion hurts your body
you hold your breathe and wait
wait for the pain to pass
you are startled by a sound
and you realize you're sobbing
again
your unborn child kicks
and your heart hurts
this isn't how it's supposed to be
you had visions of family
and joy
and love
confusion and hurt and agony
weren't any part of your plan
and here they are,
in control of you
baby moves inside your womb again
as if to give you the love you need
but how do you love right now?
how do you give your precious creation
the love he deserves
how do you survive this?
Love this one! And so true, you are a very talented poetress!
