Trigger Warning // Miscarriage

--

Sometimes I wonder –

if you would have been

your father and mine's

saving grace.

Sometimes I wonder –

if you hadn't gone away

if we would have been

a family.

Sometimes I wonder –

if your father would

have stepped up to

the plate.

Sometimes I wonder –

if he even acknowledges

that you were here.

(you were here –

maybe in the briefest

of moments –

but you were here.)

Sometimes I wonder –

If you would have been

a Christmas baby,

wrapped in green

and red

and maybe a silver bow too.

Sometimes I wonder –

if you would have been

your daddy's girl

or mama's boy.

Something I don't have to wonder –

is that –

you would have been

my world.
