My heart jumped out of my chest
As I realized what it all meant
This wasn’t to end this way
This was never the plan
It has to be some kind of mistake
But it does not lie, it’s the truth
Created out of lust not love
Created out of greed not desire
Created for what exactly?
To never know this world?
So sorry you can’t see it
I just can’t let that happen
I can’t control my emotions now
So how could I with you here?
I fear his stunning blue eyes,
Would stare back through you
I just can’t do it!
I’m sorry, it cannot be done
You were created of lust not love
You were created of greed not desire
You were created for what?
You never know this earth
I know I should be honest
I know his beliefs
He’ll never understand
He’ll never forgive
So he must never know
So sorry I couldn’t keep you,
But I couldn’t survive it
What would be the point of that?
Bringing you into my hurtful world
Bringing you into my narcissism
Bringing you into this sadness
I can’t do it
I’m sorry and I won’t
Created out of lust not love
Created out of greed not desire
I’m sorry I cannot let you breathe
But with you here I would stop

This is a very touchy subject and one that could have many points of view. There are varying reasons why abortions take place and sometimes it is not through their own want but because their lives depend upon it. Rape victims do not want to be burdened with this and if you were this child you would not want to be looked at as being produced by such. Just to have them because others say so is quite sad, because these children come into a world that has no love and end up being thrown aside.On the other hand, abortion just for the sake of convienience is wrong and should not happen. You wrote a wonderful piece which i enjoyed very much. I like your repeating verses which you use so much in your works. Well done.

Wow, I really feel like I understand now. This is excellent.
Abortion. Such a weighty issue so many worry about. You captured the thoughts perfectly.

Abortion Isn't Pretty, It's Murder in God's Eyes
I think a word is missing in this line, Trista: And (what) would be the point of that?
You've like captured some of the thoughts that go through a girl's mind as she contemplates abortion; but, as you noted, you've never been there and neither have I: by the grace of God go we. Hopefully, you carefully phrased poem will help a young woman make a wiser decision; not just about abortion but her whole way of life.
Luv & hugs, BonQ
