Six Months Short

I have slept for three months inside my tomb,
Hoping for light to one day seep through.
I know that I must get out,
But I cannot even scream or shout.
I feel that my final days are near,
But who is this woman’s voice that I hear?
Her words bring joy to my heart.
“I love you” she tells me in the dark.
If only I could respond back.
And so I devised a plan.
I would wait for her arrival at three,
But that day she never came back to me.
Instead I felt her shake and tremble.
As she was hit by a barrage of blows to her temple.
“I cannot keep you any longer” she tells me as she bleeds.
I wanted to ask her why, but I could not speak.
Soon her pain became routine.
I could feel her body: bruised and beat.
One day she told me an important thing:
Her boyfriend kept on hitting her because she kept me.
It was then that I realized that she was my mother.
Who else would be able to bring me so much comfort?
And so I knew that I would meet her soon.
In just seven months I would finally leave my mother’s womb.
But those seven months were cut short;
When she brought me to the doctor’s office during month four.
It was then that I knew that I would not see my mother’s face,
Because she told me that she would leave me in a few days.
I have slept for four months inside my mother’s womb.
And soon it would be my mother’s turn to sleep too.
Because once the doctor pricked her skin with a syringe,
Her eyes sank downward like a wooden ship.
And then the lights in the room became distorted,
As the doctor began the abortion.
I was pried from my mother’s womb.
Only to die within the operating room.
