Never Born

The emotional conflict of mind and heart in the creation of life.

My unborn child, you will never see the light of your first day.
Nor breathe the toxic fumes of life.
Never see, never be.

Not because I would not love you.
I would love you too much.

I would die for others, but not live for them.
For you my child, I could not peacefully leave this life.
A prison of love forever denying me the release I crave.

I pray to God that you are never born.
My heart and mind are forever torn.
