Do you remember me,

The warm “nothingness” inside your tummy?

You said when the time came ,

you would love me

and treat me as your own.

Now I lie confused and alone.

I do not understand

I was made into a baby

but I never got to see your face.

All I remember is a grave hum

of a vacuum that pulls at me.

All I remember was my tears

that were sucked in like me.

As I slept softly before this was done

You were debating

Whether to keep me

or burn me with one shot.

Sometimes I felt subtle tension,

when you were sleep

and I awake.

Now that is over

and I am resting in my “cradle”,

called heaven.

I know that you would have loved me

if you would have heard my coos,

seen my smile and looked into my eyes

you would have walked out..

With me still in your tummy

Where I belong……..
