Abortion Poem

I was 17 when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. Me and my boyfriend both didn't want our baby to grow up without the absolute best life for him/her. So we decided to get an abortion because we didn't have jobs. And there was no way to support him. This was the hardest decision of my life. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss or think of my baby. I can't wait until I finally see my little angel.

My Sweet Little Angel

Published by Family Friend Poems November 2011 with permission of the Author.

I can't sleep, my body is aching
the pain in my chest, my heart is breaking.
The bond that we share I thought was so strong,
but obviously I was so wrong.
The child we made, so precious and sweet
is tearing us apart week by week.
My heart is torn between my two loves.
Do I chose my true love, or my child unborn?
This is the hardest decision I will make in my life,
and I assure you this cuts like a knife.
To my child, I love you dear,
I'm sorry I can't keep you here.
It's not that I don't want you,
believe me when I say my love for you is true.
I'm sorry you won't get a chance at life
because your mommy is a bad wife.
If I could take your place, I would do it, oh so quick.
I know that this is hurting you, and it's hurting me as well.
I feel as if God should just throw me in a cell.
My heart is breaking,
my body is shaking,
you are forsaking.
I know when it's time for me to go
you'll be waiting for me at heaven's door and you'll say,
"Mommy, look how much I've grown!"
and we'll live together forever in heaven.
Until I see you again, I'll always love you, and I'll always be thinking of you.
My precious little angel, you will always be in mommy's heart.
I'll never forget you, neither will daddy, until we meet again.

I LOVE YOU, MY BABY!

I had an abortion 3 weeks ago. I thought it was the right thing to do since I am still studying and can't afford to have a baby at the moment. I thought things would be back as if nothing ever happened, but no, abortion doesn't work like that. I am eternally sorry for what I did to my baby boy. I always think of him everyday, wondering how things should have been if I was brave enough to face it. I will forever wonder how it would be like to be loved by him, to hear his voice calling me 'Mommy'. I love you my son, please forgive me.
