A Life Taken Too Soon
Lost in a sea of darkness,
With no path that leads out.
A heart bursting with emptiness,
And drowning in a river of doubt.
A little tiny life that was growing,
Protected from a world so cruel.
Then a cold wind started blowing,
Taking with it a very special jewel.
The feeling of holding you,
And never letting you go.
Something I really wish I could do,
Is something I will never know.
All I want is to see your face,
But I did not get that choice.
Dreaming of your sweet embrace,
And hearing your lovely voice.
Now you are the brightest star,
An angel with wings of light.
I was left wandering from afar,
Waiting for the day to reunite.
I hope you know that I loved you,
And I did not want you to leave.
The pain is real that much is true,
And I am left here alone to grieve.
Ashley Franco, 29 years old
On December 30, 2015 I found out that my baby died in my womb. I am struggling to accept this and I was able to write this poem about my feelings!
