Miscarriage

A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye. You were gone before we knew it. How much tragedy has to happen before I slip wide open? Broken and shattered but you will never be forgotten. 
So quickly you came into our lives,
So quickly torn away. 
Never got the chance to meet you,
There's so much I want to say.
For several days, I slept. Whether this was a necessary part of physical recovery, or a stubborn retreat from waking reality, I do not know, but I woke only reluctantly to take a little food, falling at once back into a stupor of oblivion, as though the small, warm weight of coffee in my stomach were an anchor that pulled me after it, down through the murky fathoms of sleep.
The healing power of even the most microscopic exchange with someone who knows in a flash precisely what you're talking about because the experience cannot be overestimated.
Sometimes when life doesn't work out as you planned, there is a greater force at work.
Sometimes it's hard to see the rainbow when there's been endless days of rain.
Although every person makes mistakes, not every mistake makes a person.
Learn to see the gift in the adversity. By doing this you will begin to find true peace in your struggle.
Mystified and numbed with pain. 
To lose someone so close, yet so far.
Some say you can't lose something you never had. If that's true, then how can I feel this battered and sad. You are a part of me and until now I grieve because I will never see and cast a glimmer of the beauty in your eyes and smiles. 
There is no footprint too small to leave an imprint on this world. 
Like a flower bloomed already wilting. Beginning its life with an early ending.
