Pain doesn't always show as screams or tears.
Sometimes, it's just a feeling of nothingness;
A gentle hum of being numb,
hidden amongst hushed whispers and stifled sighs.

You're six feet under
but I will forever miss
your heartbeat synced with mine.
My should-have-been rainbow baby,
now a sparkling star up the sky.

You held me long within you
From the moment I grew inside you
You knew me and I knew you
As I thrived within your womb
Every day to grow and move
You felt me and I felt you
As one with you so long
Every breath, your voice your song
I loved you and you loved me
My time here was too fleeting
So short our earthside meeting
But you knew me and I knew you
As you gazed upon my face
And held on to hope with grace
You loved me and I heard you
I felt each beat of your heart
Our love can never be torn apart
My mummy you will always be
I love you and you love me

Safe inside, I see the landscaper
Planting life, while yours is fading
Lavender, my mother’s gift,
Near the tree he wanted
To dig up and unearth
Innocent sapling
Snug in the soil
Let it take
Root and
Live

I awaken expecting the familiar dread
But instead I feel you wriggling in my belly
You guide me back to reality;
My heavy limbs resting on the sheets
The morning sun streaming in the window
No worry or fear; no decision to be made
Just the sun’s rays warming my body
And you gently moving,
Leaving this message of clarity and hope.

This is a Pregnancy loss Poem that is quite long. I wanted to warn ahead of time in case of triggering topics!
You dont know what its like
To have millions of dreams for the future
and then have them ripped away from you
all in a blink of an eye.
You dont know what its like
to love a tiny human you havent even met yet
just to have to say goodbye
before you even said Hello.
You dont even know what its like
To give birth to your child
just to hear "she's gone"
and cry like your heart has been ripped out.
You dont know what its like
to go home with empty arms
when all you want to do
is cling to your child.
You dont know what its like
To never hear their first cry
or laugh, or see their first smile
or hear their first "I love you mommy/Daddy".
You dont know what its like
to feel like you failed your child
when they needed you the most
and hear the words "there is nothing you can do"
You dont know what its like
to hold your child's urn and sob
Sob for the life you never met
sob until there are no more tears left
You dont know what its like
to wake up in the middle of the night
from a horrible nightmare
only to realize it's actually your new reality
You dont know what its like
to feel like there is a hole in your heart
that doesnt seem to ever heal or lessen
but seems to grow deeper with each breath.
You dont know what its like
to be jealous of the people around you
Holding and showing their newborn babies
and Screaming "ITS NOT FAIR!"
You dont know what its like
To be told "GOD HAD A REASON"
and wanting to scream
"You're god must be cruel to want my child dead!"
You dont know what its like
To be stuck in so much pain
and watch the world around you move on
Terrified you're child will soon be forgotten by them.
You dont know what its like
to be so Terrified to talk about them
becuase you dont want to make others uncomfortable
But it pains you deeply to be silent
You dont know what its like
to wake up each morning knowing
your baby is no longer with you,
that you have to keep going on without them
And if you know what it is like
I am so Terribly Sorry for your pain
No one and I mean NO ONE
Should have to go through this pain.
I wouldn't even wish it on my worst enemy
