Dark and cold
Shaking in agony
Veins run bold
in taking this tragedy

Longing to have hugged
or even touched your skin
before a life begun
it was at its end

I cant pretend to forget
i'm stunned stand dull and drowned
i'm not at my best
only meeting a son through an ultrasound

months of waiting
long nights have turned
now i'm facing
tears running and burn

Mourning the loss
on my knees tired, beat
more of me distraught
thinking of the tiny feet

such a little casket
lifeless, no making noise
looking to the heavens asking
why god why have you taking my baby boy
