When I was 19
I felt a horrible pain in my stomach
it was the end of the summer
we were in bliss
and love surrounded us
Then winter swallowed us whole
the blood was just as bright as the sun
crimson and hot
dripping between my thighs
the doctor said it was unexpected
I didn't even know
but
I mourned the loss
I didn't even feel anything
How could I not sense this
budding
swell
of life
that was taken too soon
