Every night when I close my eyes
That night's events run through my mind
The way my heart dropped when he pulled in
The sight of him I had come to hate
As I walked outside, unsure of what to expect
He walked swiftly towards me, face taunt
He flung his nasty thoughts my way
Then he pushed me aside and strolled on by
Heart racing, I rushed to block him from my door
Once again, flinging nasty words
He pushed me out of his way easily
Determined to enter my home
With his words he battered my guest
Once again I tried to intervene
Once again shoved aside
He was in such a jealous rage
Never thinking of our son I carried
When he finally left, leaving dust behind
My body shook with emotion
Blood running hot through my veins
But yet, no help would come
"No crime committed" is what I'm told
As I lie in the hospital bed the next night
I learn my son, my life, was no longer alive
For 32 weeks I carried him in my womb
In less than five minutes
His father took it all away
That's what I see
Every night when I close my eyes.

Like a dove, I am now flying free

Oh wow!!! My heart and soul go out to youI know how this feels, but with different circumstances.To lose a child in the womb is tragic enough, but to lose it this way is devestating.May you be granted peace and may you be blessed with all that happiness can bring.
