Why

He gave me no reason

He left me no pride

He didn't leave a note

Or some rules to abide

Not even a phone call

A "hello" or a "sorry"

For leaving me alone

With a half formed body

Inside of my own

And a new mouth to feed

If our love was a country

Then I would secede

I can't even tell you

How much this hurts

Not even going into labor

Will make my pain worse.
