I'll Never

by Hannah Lizette   May 22, 2012


I'll never get to see two pink lines,
or even loath the sickness.
I'll never get to hear a heartbeat,
or see an ultrasound.
I'll never get to feel a flutter,
or have crazy cravings.
I'll never get to say it's a boy or girl,
or even say I'm so many weeks.
I'll never get to have stretch marks,
or even have swelling feet.
I'll never get to shop for diapers, bottles, or cute clothes,
or even get to nest.
I'll never get to pee constantly,
or even complain about weight gain.
I'll never get to dialate,
or even go into labor.
I'll never get to hear you scream,
or even touch your face.
I'll never get to kiss your forehead,
or even hold your hand.
I'll never get to be called Mommy,
or even say "I love you, my baby".

    What a very powerful moving poem. It captures such deep heart ache of this situation. You penned this so well it really touches your heart when you read this. I connected to this and I think it can be seen from two sides. It can be seen as not being able to have children and the loss and pain you have to suffer with this. Or, in my eyes it can also be seen as losing a child early on in pregnancy because the poem then turns around to be directed at that child. The loss of that child and what you will never experience with them.

    Amazing job, I am just sorry you had to write this and feel this pain, but hope in some way you found it comforting to write it. x

  • Is it that you are unable to have children for a medical condition or your own thoughts that you wont get the chance because you havent met the right guy?

    Either way, chin up because when theres a will theres a way. You may adopt - though you wony have all the feelings you have described you will at least be able to be a mother. Otherwise, there is still plenty of time for you to find the right guy - and you will. (:

    Poetically, this poem is very heartbreaking. You dont seem to end with a resolution or anything so it seems you have resigned yourself to having no child. As I said above, stay strong. Think positively and all will be okay.
    (:

    Oh my, I have tears in my eyes! I have always said that the best poems are those that are heartfelt and this is one of them. So simple, yet so powerful. It's never a bad thing to break down and vent. Just keep your head up and keep trying!
