dear friend today you broke my heart
in a place that was unbroken
you did it with your thoughtless words
that should not have been spoken

you know that i am grieving
that my pain is deep and real
your hurtful words pierced like a knife
how do you think i feel

you may not suffer from MY loss
or share this lonely grief
but i am mourning my baby
whose life was much too brief

im sure you dont know how i feel
i dont expect you to
dont ask me to get over it...
thats something i cant do

without grief there is no healing
its a journey i must take
its NOT a path I would choose
BUT ONE IM FORCED TO TAKE

no matter how you choose to see
what i am going through
i need compassion and support...
i would do the same for you
