Stripped

Stripped

an infant ripped from my grasp
hopes of motherhood fade
as I trip through the reality of m i s c a r r i a g e
Doc says,
"It happens to one in three women now."
And all that means to me is
two other women get to be mothers
while I hide in the shadows
clinging to what was never meant to be.
