One heart beats
then two
then one again
But the blood is joined
traces of the lost one linger
flowing in the lifestream of the one remaining
never gone
A ghost in her blood
always flowing within her
through her womb
through her heart
through all of her days
A life unlived
yet alive in her blood
One life
then two
then one again

Anonymous3 months agoIt comes from your heart. I lost my first child to abortion. Not my idea, but her right. My son lost a baby to miscarriage which imploded his relationship, but he has since had two beautiful babies with a beautiful woman and they are the centre of my heart.
