Poems, Prose, and Words of Remembrance

In remembrance of my unborn child, taken away so cruelly on July 20th 2007, due to be born 11th March 2008

I lost my child today

People came to weep and cry

As I just sat and stared, dry eyed.

They struggled to find words to say

To try and take the pain away.

I lost my child last month.

Most of the people went away.

Some still call and some still stay.

I wait to wake up from this dream

This can’t be real–I want to scream.

Yet everything is locked inside,

God, help me, I want to die.

I lost my child last year.

Now people who had came, have gone.

I sit and struggle all day long,

To bear the pain so deep inside.

And now my friends just question, Why?

Why does this mother not move on?

Just sits and sings the same old song.

Good heavens, it has been so long.

I lost my child last year.

Time has not moved on for me.

The numbness has now disappeared.

My eyes have now cried many tears.

I see the look upon your face,

“She must move on and leave this place.”

Yet I am trapped right here in time.

The songs the same, as is the rhyme,

I lost my child…Today.

thanks tinkerbell and polyanna.

I thought the poem summed up exactly how I feel and I knew it would mean alot to other people in the same situation!

I hope you are both doing okay - I guess we all have to get on with our lives and the wounds get a little less raw as time moves on but I don’t think it’s something that will ever go away fro any of us!!

Lots of love to you both

I’m so glad that other people have felt the same about this poem as I did!

It certainly describes how alot of us feel when everyone expects us to move on. What people don’t realise is that the emotional scars don’t heal as easily as the physical ones.

I still have good days and bad days and I think I always will.

P.S - Hoppy I am so sorry for your loss and I’m glad that you’ve found this place. I come here often to look for familiar people and seek solace from them.

I hope you can do the same.

Good luck for your recovery xxx
