Never to Return

I look at his little feet,

And his little face.

He looks so much like him,

I begin to pace.

THe nurse says,

Time to say goodbye.

I'm so sad,

I just want to cry.

I shouldn't have loved him,

I shouln't have cared.

But I did,

And look how I fared.

Nine months later,

A baby is born.

I get gossip,

And looks of scorn.

He doesn't care about the bay or me.

I should have tried,

Just to see.

Now I have to,

Give up my baby.

I'm going to cry,

And I don't mean maybe.

The nurse takes him,

And he begins to cry.

I run over,

To say my last goodbye.

The nurse walks out the door,

I don't see my baby anymore.

I hope he goes,

To a family that cares.

I hope he never knows,

How my hear tears.

I lay on the bed,

While I cry.

I realize my tearducts,

Are just to dry.

My baby is gone,

And so is my youth.

It feels like,

I just pulled a tooth.

I miss him already,

But now he is gone.

Never to return.
