You were inside me but only for a while.
Only in my dreams do I embrace your smile.
In my thoughts I see you, my bleeding heart is torn
for my darling little baby who would never be born.
Though my arms ache to hold you, my grief so hard to bear.
The pain you must have felt that day, my pain cannot compare.
If I could live my life again, there would be one less regret.
The day I took my baby's life, the day I can't forget.
