My body was supposed to change. My life was supposed to change. My room was supposed to change. But it didn't. Instead, my heart did. My heart took what my body couldn't. I never got to plan the announcement. I never got to go to the appointments. I never got to feel your kicks. I never got to feel your heartbeats. Instead, no one knows the silence that fills my ears. The ringing noise every time I look at the calendar. Every time I realize that you would've been here any day. The room I would've decorated, but didn't. the name I would've picked out, but didn't. I am not ashamed of you, bean. I am ashamed of my body failing you.

grieving someone i never held.

The ringing noise every time I look at the calendar. Every time I realize that you would've been here any day. The room I would've decorated, but didn't. the name I would've picked out, but didn't. I am not ashamed of you, bean. I am ashamed of my body failing you.
