My Child-

Dumped not too long ago,
My heart still aches for you.
And out of nowhere---I get a call.
To my surprise...it's you---
With a shocking message:
"I'm pregnant"

My mind races with thoughts,
Can this really be true?
I force myself to wake-up...
But I realize this is not a dream.
Not sure where to run, or who to turn to...
I sit in my chair...in a trance.

Our bloods mingled and the seed grew...
Soon to be a child, created by us.
Knowing I have to take responsibility,
I'll love the child---like I once loved you...
The child, concieved...by the lie of Love...

WOW  Congradulations!!!!!  if this is true that is.  The very end of the poem is amazing.  

"I'll love the child---like I once loved you...
The child, concieved...by the lie of Love..."

I've often thought of love as something of a joke, lie, shame, etc.  The realness at the end of this is great.  If this is not a character write I'm glad to see you are willing to be responsible.  Great write.

There are no great men, only men in great circumstances.

You must be having a lot of mixed feelings here, your poem shows how much you will love your son or daughter, and you will be a great person.

I'll love the child---like I once loved you...
The child, concieved...by the lie of Love...

Sincerely,
Titus

Hmm...very interesting. If it's true and you don't want it, it's your own fault. Should have used protection. If it's not, good job of making the piece come to life.

I'm sure there will be some people in here that can connect with it. It's well written Alex. Narrative in all it's goodness.

Take care and thanks for posting.

WOAH!
this is trully very powerful writing kiddo...even *IM* having doubts about the poem being pure fiction!

this could be fiction or it could be true...but the ending is somewhat happier then i would have imagined it to be if it were true. grrr...youre messing with my mind here alex...excellent write though. keep posting more!..NOW!

life's not about who wins or loses, or about whos got the better car,or the most money. it's about living,and trying to make the best of what we have.
