A poem for Kate.
Its been nearly three months since I’ve seen you
The last time a saw you your belly was flat
Now people say its the size of a volleyball
I just can’t take that
I’m expected to give up my daughter
Even though I know its for the best
But I don’t even know her
It makes me so depressed
How can I grieve the loss of a daughter I never knew
Without the person I am closest too
All I do is think and cry
The feelings I wish I could subue
All I need right now is to hear your voice
To wrap my arms around you
and kiss you on the forehead
Its so long overdue
But I can’t
I just sit here in Kalamazoo
Crying, scared, and alone
But still loving you.
