i am a mother’s womb

empty and abandoned

all i want

is to be with my baby

i often dream that he is inside of me

cuddled and wrapped in my blanket

i fear that i will be forgotten by mother

as i am already forgotten

by the life i once created

mother’s heart keeps me up at night

when it beats

it reminds me of him

the one i sheltered for nine months

it was a long journey to conception

and i couldn’t bring him into this world

the way i had hoped

keep me in the sunlight so i can soak in the rays

and take care of me

i am here to nurture and protect mother too

remember me for i gave life to the two
