For my other half, with love.



Miscarriage

I did not know what to say
Or how to heal you
In the bright glare of the hospital lights.

It was the second time now
And you seemed so broken
That nothing could make it right.

I wanted to take those shining tears
You would not cry (you were so brave)
And make them into crystal shapes

To make you smile again.
Today I woke up and wished
I could take your pain,

Wrap it up nice and tight,
Paint it gold and turn it into hope.
I wanted to color you a future

Of happiness and white out
All your disappointments.
But I still don’t know how.

My hugs seem hollow
And useless in the face
Of death and crushed hopes.

But now I know you’ll heal
Without the golden ball of hope
I don’t know how to make, or

The crystals shapes I do not have to give
Because last night you showed me your
Strength in those tears you did not cry

In the pain you did not let win
and it was more brilliant
Than shining crystal and gold,

And I know you will be okay.
