Childless - Visitor's Poem

by CC
(UK)

I can't change it
it's not possible
it's too late now....

I had hope
always hope
and on and on it went

Is it my fault
could I be to blame
I wanted nothing more in my life than this
Is it my fault

You can't explain the pain
no one else can feel it
or understand it
it's there though
constantly
daily
hourly
minute by minute

The pain is called emptiness
Your arms are empty
You have nothing to hold
No baby
No child

It's deep and it hurts
every day it hurts
and on and on it goes...

And no one knows
No one knows....
