at the same time

every month 

i would curl into a ball

and cry;

unable to provide myself comfort. 

one line. 

my body has failed me again,

the doctors are right.

why is it so much easier for everyone else?

why won’t my body do what it is meant to? 

what did I do to deserve this?

one line. 

tears continue to fall, 

my heart feels heavy 

my womb is empty.
