YOUR NAME

By the hapless uterus cruel fate took hold of me.
It twisted, it crippled, it tore out my Soul;
it rendered my world no longer whole.

I crumpled in it's grasp like a worn-out dress.
I stumbled and fell into a kind of hell
that held me fast in it's prison cell.

My life dropped out of consequence like a raindrop in the ocean:
hour stretched into year, and year into dismal eternity
that wiped out all hope of blissful maternity.

A marble gravestone still pins me by the heart.
It bears in deepest ebony pearl
your name, your name,
                                  my precious baby girl.

On the anniversary of my daughter's passing...I still love you with all my heart ❤❤❤
