Pain is just another word.
He sits out front,
Head in his hands.
She lies on the bed
Inside, spilling silent tears.
When did it go wrong?
They were faithful.
Everything perfect till the news,
News of a baby (cute?) ,
To a house unprepared.
'Get rid of it,
We can't manage',
Husband ever practical.
'No', such a simple word
From a heartbroken wife.
Confused and floundering,
Words unspoken over meals.
Baby grows stronger,
Parents become weaker,
All so unprepared.
Final decision that it can't stay.
'Baby, please just go away' -
Sorry for the crime they've done
But there was no other choice,
They had to abandon you.
