"Today"

To death,
I have never forgotten you
Nor the life you took from me
All those years ago, you kissed
My furrowed brow and kneaded me to rest,
My heart thrums disastrously slow
To relive those moments in mind's eye
Blood stains my thighs
And I wished you had mercy to take two that night
Ever seen the color of placenta
On a dirtied tile floor after midnight?
Ever seen the prying eyes of strangers
Look between your legs to decipher
How much you wish you were dead?
I don't have the shame to mourn in public
Only the strength to mutter a few awkward apologies
And gasps of discomfort when he plucks the warmth from within
Another woman loses her child today and I
Feel like I'm losing her all over again

MetalAphrodite... Mighty Woman of Strength. Been through so much. 'Today' stared 'Death' in the face, and told what and how it is... You still stand. And I stand with you. In grief we mourn our losses ... Not Alone, Nor in Silence.
