My heart weeps silently

         for the child

                   I once carried

My mind paralyzed

         with fear of a reoccurrence

                   but my body longs

                            to be the vessel

That carries your

         fragile, tiny frame

                   supporting you in

                            my cracked container

You fluttered and

         my heart melted

                   connecting us

                            heart and soul

I loved you

         without ever

                   meeting you
