i do not know you yet
but i love you
we are a part of each other
i am the size of the end of that pencil your twirling
i love you
but you seem to fear me
right now i'm growing
hands, feet
fingers, toes
waiting for the day
when you hold me
and count these fingers and toes
but i fear you never will
you got your appointment yesterday
to kill me
what did i d wrong?
you gave me life
you and daddy
why don't you want me?
i love you mommy
don't you know that?
you can't feel me yet
but i'm here
the doctors told you so
there were 5 more before me
they all died on their own
but i'm stronger mommy
i'm still here
you smoke and drink
to try and get rid of me
i'm still here
i know you're scared
so am i
but i love you
and i'm here
inside you
please don't kill me
i want to know you
i want you to know me
......
the day of my execution
is drawing closer
i'll just continue to grow
maybe soon you'll feel me
maybe you'll change your mind
