Without a Reason
I can feel she’s tense
I hope everything’s alright.
Yesterday she sang to me
Soft, sweet and beautiful.
I can hear them talking,
Is it about me?
She gets up,
“Mommy, where are we going?”
Something cold and hard touches me,
NO, leave me alone!
“Mommy, what’s happening…?”
“I promise I won’t kick again, I’m sorry…”
It grabs me by the leg,
But mommy will protect me…
It hurts,
IT HURTS!
I feel my limbs being ripped from my body.
Why are they doing this?
I want to scream,
but I have no vocal cords…
My little heart beats with my last cry for help.
MO-MMY!?
I feel something breaking,
then nothing.
Ever again…
*Is there ever a valid reason?*
If you have one, tell it to the billions of aborted little children, waiting for an answer...
Unaware
He came and sang to me softly
Serenades of silk were wrapped around me
Seduced by sensual ardour.
No thought,
No breath,
Just the moment.
No yesterday,
No tomorrow,
Just the moment.
One kiss to silence all protests
His words were spoken with the most pristine perfection.
As he stole my soul
While I was blissfully unaware...
