No More Tears


Mother weeps
       with arms swaddled
             around empty womb.

Comforting whispers
               reverberate
                            in ears;

little voice
           begs --
                    'Please, Mommy, don't cry.'


Author notes

Prompt: Placid Echoes

Inspire by the prompt
and a phone call to inform
me that my nephew's girlfriend
is in the midst of a miscarriage
with thier second child.

In a list

Please tell me what you think

    I'm going to have to say that this hit me on a very personal level, so much so that it just shocked me! I won't go into details, but...wow, this hit me. Excellently penned.
