the gift of life

slowly a hand reaches towrads me
i fall away
shall i forever shrink?
hand suspened waiting for me to move
my body shakes and quivers
dose he even know?
how can i move past the pain
that has raked me so?
will he feel the scars locked deep away
yet still i hide a secret shame
smiles softly laying down his hand
how can it be? could he understand
how am i to tell, what has befallen a second time?
how can i be so weak!
and now my shame i cannot hide
concern fills his face
slowly i turn away
there my biggest mistake
the darkness comes so quickly
desending so completly
voices speaking low
where am i
oh god oh no
slowly i open my eyes to see him standing there
doctors slowly leaves
smiling down at me
oh god he knows
tears sting my eyes
smile faltering around the edges
as the truth slowly dawns
he trails his finger over me
i will help no matter what you choose
sobing i say
how can i take a life that hasnt yet began
how can i stop something
that had no choice but to be
even if it was by pain and violance
i swear he will be born in love
hushing me softly cradling closely
murmering gently
to the slowly forming life
i lay back
strangly at ease
embracing my gift of life
