in my womb

#freeverse #grief #deathnote

As I open up a new chapter,

Another page becomes history.

Memories once seeped consciously

Drifts away unconsciously.

My baby, she reached six months

And lived inside my belly

I fought my way through

Cold nights, working

And sunsets simmering.

I didn't notice his cord

Was coiling and coiling

I kept feeling nothing

Except silence and death

But I just thought that

He was sleeping,

Now I'm crying

I'm just dying

Slowly.
