Empty womb

To sit here looking at his face when the stick showed me what I didn't want to see

Even though he kissed my cheek and smiled, I knew he was disappointed in me

We have tried and tried with no sign of success

I guess that is one gift I shall never posses

I lock the door after he leaves with tears in my eyes

After all the pain I started to realize

All the women who use abortions as birth control do not realize what they did

They sleep around not worrying about having a kid

When I can't, though happily married, ready, and willing

When they just go about producing and killing

You hear about people all the time

It's a women's choice, that's the crime

Accidents happen, that I know

But I will never feel my belly grow

Just because you can doesn't mean you should

I have tried so hard and if only I could

Empty my womb will always be

No more branches on our family tree
