Jaxon

By SaintNHB

Tonight, I wrote an eight-page letter to my unborn baby
He has been unborn for two years
Beautiful in my mind, and I know
He’d look like what I see in the mirror
Except he would be perfect
 
Like daddy in the face,
But eyes like my own
My beautiful baby
Should be two years old
 
But I gave into pressure
My mother kept crying
She kept yelling at me
To the point I wished I were dying
 
I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t move
All day long I lay in bed
And held my tummy
Because it was as close as I could get to you
 
When I gave in, I had to be high,
Because I saw you, almost eight weeks,
Just a dot on the screen
But you were still so beautiful to me
 
So they put me to sleep, and when I awoke
My heart was empty, and I felt so cold
I spoke in silence the whole ride home
 
My beautiful baby, I cant express
How much of monster I know I am
I hope you forgive me, I know I was wrong
I’m not afraid of death because that’s where you are

    Many tortured souls are left in the wake of the popular path that we sometimes choose for many good reasons at the time. Then comes the living afterwards, and the mental torture and second thoughts we torment ourselves with - it never stops - and I know of what I speak. If we can forgive others then we will eventually forgive ourselves. This affirms the suspicion that we have a soul and a conscience - blessings Saint NHB, missed you, cheers!

    ...I was amazed to see you post something so personal. it took you two years to write this. my wish is that it brings you some relief, but it will probably take a lot longer...
