Born in My Heart

I wish you would look me in the eyes.

No, really… look me in the eyes.

I have something important to tell you.

We need to have this conversation.

I need you to listen to me.

Remember when I told you things would be alright?

Well… they won’t. They can’t. I’ve tried.

Stop crying!

Why are you crying?

I haven’t even finished… just listen.

Just listen and maybe we can get through this together.

Please hush your fears…

I need to finish telling you.

I didn’t bare you. I didn’t give you life.

I wish… I should’ve… I didn’t think you would want to know.

Perhaps you would… perhaps you wouldn’t,

I struggled with this idea.

No I didn’t give you life, but I did give you a living.

You can’t hate me!

I’m your mother!

I know I didn’t bare you,

But I swear you were born in my heart.
