Letters to the Unborn
I write these words to you
with the knowledge that you will
never read them
and it breaks me to my core.
I write these words to you
hoping that your mother will read them
so she can change her mind
before it's too late.
I write these words to you
as she walks across the pavement
with people shouting at her
calling her a whore.
I write these words to you
as the needle is drawn
and your last breath is taken from you
before your lungs meet the world.
with the knowledge that you will
never read them
and it breaks me to my core.
