Empty Belly

Where is the forgiveness for a sinful belly
A cocoon for a life never meant to be
For I am the sinner who lived in torment
Who had no-one with which to plea
For mine was the milk and the preparation
For mine was the hormones ready for birth
For mine was the want to be at peace with my body
For mine was the struggle for what I was worth
And I knew that there was noone there to turn to
For I was the sinner with forbidden seed
And mine was the decision of where to turn
And who would help me in my hour of need
For mine was the fear of helpless rejection
For mine was the terror of what was right
For mine was the ocean of tears and dejection
For mine were the eyes staring into the night
And in curtained solitude began the pain
From wretched body life blood did drain
I had miscarried a life and youth had not known
That at such a moment I would bear this alone
For mine was the emptiness the numbness the cold
For mine was the story to be kept never told
For mine was the longing for the wrong to be right
For mine was the journey alone that night

| Wonderful!!! My heart cries out with every verse. As a woman, I can feel the pain and hurt.It's unbearable to lose someone who you've known. but even more painful to lose someone you've waited to know. Still wiping tears.... Great write!!! |

| Very sad. The rhythm almost feels like a downward spiral. Quite effective. |
