IT

I’d always wondered why she’d done “it”-

and I was never told.

Inside I’d felt pity…

my heart had felt so cold.

She told me she didn’t want “it”-

that what she did was “right.”

She was strong through it all-

while I was weak and couldn’t fight.

“It” was all one big mistake

that is what she’d say.

When bringing this upon herself-

she’d still wish “it” away.

“It” could have been so beautiful.

“It” could have grown in life.

She was so cruel to hurt “it.”

She was a child of Christ.

“It” was what she called “it”-

and when she did-

I shed tears of pain.

“It” was her unborn child

Without a day or name.
