nine months of happiness
you'd brought to my life
tears of joy we shared
as you said you'd be my wife
it seemed but a moment
before your stomach grew
and we re-painted
the spare bedroom blue
each day seemed to greet us
with surprises and bliss
each night brought us closer
with long talks and kisses
you were my saviour
with your soft hands and smiles
you filled my dreams of heaven
with sounds of laughter
and tiny feet
you were love
in my arms and my prayers
you were my everything
and now...
they said he was so drunk
he didn't feel a thing
as he plowed his oversized SUV
into the Escort
that your dad bought you for graduation
i cry everytime i think of you
alone as you aborted
the steering wheel
driven into your stomach
and i always wonder if you were awake
if you were aware enough to cry
as our unborn child was forced from you
all the words run together
broken neck
severe trauma
internal bleeding
kidneys failing
life support
but the words that always glare through
are the two i can't except
brain dead
you always told me
you didn't want to live that way
and i'd smile and say "ok"
because i never saw it coming
and though you don't want to live that way
i don't want to live without you
out of love i've made the choice
and i'm here to say goodbye
i don't know if you can hear me
and i don't know if i want you to
but in a few minutes
the doctors are going to come in
and unplug......the machine
there's so much i want to say
but i don't even know...
i want to hate you right now
and i don't even know why
it just seems easier
than accepting what i really feel
everything ahead just seems blank
without you
without the baby we should've had
i'm sorry that i can't fix this
i'm sorry that he hit you instead of me
i'm sorry that you're alone wherever you are
and i'm sorry that when i wake up tomorrow
you won't be lying next to me
i won't be able to roll over and kiss you
to see the sunlight shine on your hair
never get to wrestle you for the remote
or stay up all night talking and planning
never get to see our son grow up
to watch him graduate
have children of his own
most of all i'm sorry
that every plan we made is dead
i love you more than i ever knew
you are my world
and wherever you go after this
i'll be there soon
and i'll find you
the doctors are here now
they're about to unplug the machine
i hope you can feel my hand in yours'
and this kiss on your cheek
and i hope you can hear these words
i love you, honey
and i'll miss you
goodbye

Briliant story with a brilliant title
I pray when this "came to you", it "came to you" as a purely fictional story |

| I agree with mypetmeatball. This is a brilliant story, brilliantly told, with the perfect title. And I too hope and pray you have not actually had to experience this. |

I sit hear crying, unable to find words worthy enough to describe this. My heart broke as I read this, and as the others, I too hope this was fictional. Exquisitely done!

goodness man... I got the title after I finished
reading the poem... it was just dripping with
sadness. You put a real humanity in this
poem that forced the reader to empathize with
the character in the poem. Wow this was
written so wonderfully. I hope and trust that
you are doing well bro.
Peace,
Joel |
