She wakes to the sound of silence,
Walking past an empty room,
The bare walls haunting her,
Step by step,
She descends down,
Smiling at the face she’s known,
For countless days.
She has learned to cry,
Quietly,
As not to wake,
The one she belongs to,
It’s too much for her,
To let him know,
What her tears represent.
How could she want something,
That she has never had,
She tells herself,
In time she will unwrap,
God’s gift,
The box pink or blue,
The tears fade as she drifts away,
Still longing for her last wish.

this is such a sad write and I am not sure if you couldn't fall pregnant or if you lost your baby. Still this is really such a sad write! Thank you for entering my contest. My God bless you with a baby soon!

"How could she want something,
That she has never had"
...such a strong line. Wonderful poem, made me cry, especially the last line.
I stopped by your author page after submitting a poem in your contest, and I must say you are along the many other women that leave me in awe. Keep faith and hold onto hope. God bless

Sweet and sad.
" She has learned to cry quietly."
That is my favorite line.
Good luck in the contest
