Loss of a child

Allie561

A sorry stack of papers filled with baby names

Some crossed out and more that should’ve came

Abandoned they lay, collecting dust

Pain ripples through the words we cannot trust

Words that said there is no heartbeat

Words that said there wasn’t anyone to greet

Sorrow and melancholy filled rooms for days

It stayed like a stench driving us into a craze

Cards and flowers in a heap

Too many times did we think and start to weep
