My Small Silent Child

Cry

Let me hear the beauty in your scream

Let me hear the way your voice could form

Fill the deafening silence in this room

Cry just once

So I know you’re tiny lungs work

Wiggle your toes

Wave your arms

Let me hear your heart beat

Oh so calm

Scream and cry

For hours on end

So I know you’re here

So I know your veins bleed

Please cry

This can’t be the fate of the dice

Don’t let it be this way

The doctors can’t speak those words

Make yourself be heard

Prove them all wrong

Breath in this world

My small silent child

Please don’t leave me alone

While I cage your tiny breathless body in my arms

I’ll keep your warm

You’ll be safe with me

Just please don’t leave me my small child

Don’t let this be
