She hides from her mother
ignores her dad,
she dwells within loss
and all things sad
her stomach's sick in the morning
she doesn't know why,
oh, she locks herself away
to break down and cry
heart jitters -
throat chokes in a lump -
every time her mind strays
to thoughts of her body's little flat bump
knowing what it might be
paranoid about how much it shows,
fooling herself no one will notice
even if it grows -
alas her head swells
sick with clotted disdain
no she can't carry on -
can't carry on with the pain
so up she opens to her parents
tears flowing from both eyes
unmasking the secret
that for months she's disguised
distraught, weeping,
the sordid act now told,
her mother heartbroken
her father disgusted but bold
"There's only one thing to do,"
he muttered with a voice that was hoarse
and down the ****** route of abortion
did they both start to course
her mother weak, pleading,
begging her daughter to think again -
her father furious, saying don't be so stupid
she's only the age of ten
and so Alice had enough
buckled and snapped,
her lust for life
sorrows parasite finally sapped
off the city bridge, into the icy water
did she jump and dive -
now encapsulated within the womb of death,
that keeps both mother and child alive.
