Although I never held you,
I carried you for a short time
Unaware that you were a part of me
Never expecting a piece of you to remain
Crushing me when you went away
Mourning you quietly
Because no one understood
The pain of losing you put me through
A life cut short
Your future had so many possibilities
A cruel twist of fate
Said your life wasn’t meant to be
My second, you would have been
Just as wanted as the first and last
My arms yearned to cradle you
Singing lullabies as I gently rocked you
Even though I knew you were gone
A pain I’ve held close to my heart
As I imagine what you would be today
To fill my arms
I planted a rose in your memory
Cultivated tenderly
Bringing me joy and peace
I needed when my heart was torn
So, twenty-two years later
I’m still planting flowers
Adding color to my life
Which was taken from me
The day I lost you
