Within Innocence

By Nixx

surrounded by soft pink or baby blue
a baby's first smile is better than light
vibrant eyes excited and new
how could i have never of met you?

delicate hands and wriggling toes
excitedly kicking and trashing
boogers hanging from a cute little nose
watching educational tv shows

tiny little nails groping at anything
tender skin softer than rose petals
knowing nothing of pain or sin
what have i done, where do i begin?

a yawn and stretch looking peaceful
i should try to make this last for you
bright blue eyes looking so beautiful
as your sounds are barely audible

holding the pillow over your face
you cant look as i keep you from harm
you will never know horrors in this place
im making you disappear without a trace

taking the innocent and the fragile
showing you a place of peace
i look at the pillow with your bile
feeling faint like a cloud, feeling vile

for this sort time i showed you devotion
i was very protective over you
however only with my contribution
could this be the same as an abortion

    A difficult piece to write, I'm sure. Raw and powerful. Singularly, probably the most difficult decision a young woman can make.

    must be hard looking at friends knowing what could have been had you been in position to not terminate. DP is the right place for this in my opinion. Youre expressing something that you felt the need to write.

    The poem builds beautifully with feelings captured so perfectly for the first half. An awesome twist which I am really into myself on most topics. Technically a high impact piece...It is hard for me to comment in any way other than disconnecting my own personal feelings and heartache from the piece...I do not read it as morbid in any way, more sad and symbolic in nature as a coping mechanism or a realisation of what might have been. A brave topic and an even braver way to express feelings...Overall I think the symbolism excelled at its purpose It just hurt a little to much.......

    I still think however that this may be to much even for DP. I think this has the potential to actually hurt people.
