I Felt You There
(on miscarriage)

I felt you there
when I was sleeping
I wish I'd never known
the hopes we were keeping

I felt you there
when I stood in the night
alone, wishing I hadn't known
you put up such a fight

I felt you there
when I tried to eat
truly not there anymore
hopes were nothing against defeat

So what's the use?
throwing the food on the floor
little life left, killing both of us,
neither of us need to eat anymore.

I felt you there
when I ran out the door
weeping, realizing
you’ll never be hungry anymore.
