As I lay here on the
Bathroom floor
Helpless
As I hold the pregnancy test
in my hand
Tears roll down the apple
of my cheeks
Alone in this
Those very moments
I discovered
I would be a mother
Eve though long gone
Is still with us
And surely I will bring you
into the world in sorrow
It shall come to pass
that I am confounded by fear
And I want to cry out
My heart wants to burst out
I’m afraid
I’ve never been so scared in my life
Then again everything we did
as we consummated
was exactly what we wanted
It was never what I intended
Expecting you so soon
My first born child
It’s too soon
It’s too soon
As I lay on the bathroom floor
Helpless
Truly I shall bring you into the world
In sorrow
