A poem about loss

The unwanted wife and the unwanted baby

I hold you close to me
Wrapped in a blanket
Stained with salty tears

I hold you safe inside of me
Wrapped in our skin
Safe from my fears

An unwanted wife
With an unwanted child
Alone but together

A mother of three
Lover of none
Broken forever

I hold you inside my heart
While the tears
Turn to blood

I hold your hand
Inside my own
It's all red

I remember you inside my womb
Turned to ash
No life to give

For a fleeting moment I loved you
I saw you grow up
I saw you live
