I love you

Exhausted
I examine the ultrasound obsessively
Trying to memorize every blur of white
The only proof of your existence

It’s the only picture that will ever be taken of you.

If I could
I would cradle you in my arms
Feel your tiny hand within my own
And never let you go
I would sing you lullabies
Kiss you on the forehead
And love you
Just love you

You were above
Above a world of fault
Above a world of me
I cry for the misery of being flawed
I would stain you

How can I ask you to understand?
I wasn’t ending you
I was trying to shelter you
The thought of ruining another beautiful thing
Was too much to endure
And I knew from your heartbeat you’d be perfect

I’m so sorry.
