Heart Of The Matter
Secret Love
Her pain,
So indescribable,
Anticipation, fear,
And joy,
Just one last wave,
Of panic,
Congratulations!
It's a boy,
And wrapped in love,
And sympathy,
The child,
Now left behind,
A woman now,
Of just fifteen,
The father,
They won't find,
Tight lipped,
She still protects him,
To her,
He did no wrong,
They want to take,
The baby,
But to her,
He will belong,
She looks now,
At her,
New born child,
Face blurred,
With childhood tears,
Of fear,
And trepidation,
Responsibilities,
She's overcome,
With longing.
He's the image,
Of his dad,
But she keeps,
His name a secret,
It's so very,
Very sad.
