"Though we haven't met you
We still love you"
That's how I thought it'll be like
Thought I'll be the best gift as soon as they cut the pipe
But they didn't plan me
And so I didn't give glee
Thought they'd love me
As I was faster than all he
She didn't know it was me
Not until the blood quit
Thought I'll be welcomed with sweets
Then why did she talk about the pills?
Heard everyone cannot wait for the 9 to get over
Then why did she cry when the 3 got over?
Now I hear them say,
"We're too young, it's not the time"
Their worries, too much for me to climb.
But still, I loved them from the start
Hoping one day, they'll have a change of heart.
But fate had a different plan for me
A life that was not meant to be.
Thought I'll be cherished each day
But all I heard was "go away."
Their thoughts of me, so full of fear
Not a single thought, to hold me near.
I was just a burden, an unwanted guest
In their eyes, I was not truly blessed.
No chance to live, no chance to grow
Just a future, they did not want to know.
But still, I loved them from the start
With all my being, right from the heart.
Though they may not feel the same.
Now, I lay here all alone In the darkness, I have grown.
No mother's touch, no father's kiss
Just the pain and the emptiness.
Though we haven't met, I want you to know
I forgive you, even though you did not show.
And as I leave this world behind
I hope someday, you'll see what you left behind.
