*trigger warning* miscarriages

~

Man met me.

Man made me meaningful.

Man married me.

Moved my memorabilia.

My manor, minimalistic,

missed more.

Mentioned my meditations.

Mutually mooted,

man matched me.

Must make more mouths.

Motherhood... mine.

Manifested miniatures,

making memories.

Monday morning,

March merriness!

Morning-malady, moodiness,

malaise, munchies.

Marital memories multiplied.

My mind manufactured

many mirthful moments.

Maintained mindfulness,

making my mini-me.

Mattered minimally.

Monday, mid-May.

My maternity met Moirai.

My macrocosm melted.

Mentally, my mind muffled.

Music muted.

Meals made me miserable.

My man managed,

mostly masking misery.

Melancholy modeled marriage.

My morale matured, minutely.

My mind mended.

My marriage metamorphosed,

more mighty.

Months mending, moving...

Mishap!

Menstrual month missed.

Mistrust menacing...

Moody, mirthful moments.

Miraculously,

many moons made.

Monday, midnight,

my mini-me,

made me, "Mom."
