Childless

Childless
Copyright - 1/25/96

A mother's worry
Identity crisis
She waits calmly
Awaiting unsure
She sits alone
Staggered guidance
Love's a stones throw away.

A cold bench
Assured safety
She sits calmly
Not quite sure
She sits alone
No one understands
Life's a gift that shouldn't be cast aside.

A life wriggling
Deep within
She sits uneasy
Definitely unsure
She sits alone
designated bliss
Love knows no boundaries.

A short term
Memory lapses
She sits giddy
Unsteady and horrified
She sits alone
No one cares
Excluding a part of her that shouldn't.

A cold, dark room
Time elapsed
She lies upset
It should be over
She lies alone
Life to a close
Cutting loose ends and surviving.

Too much time
Heals no wounds
She rocks crying
Life she's bred
Now lies alone
Wishes and chaos
Couldn't bring the unborn back.
