in everyway it's a sad situation
expression of love gone bad
towards others i've heard of
i don't deny i've felt sympathy
but sometimes, a little contempt as well

when it comes to your very own
those you hold so close to your heart
then you start to understand
contempt can be a sin
an isolated situation:
a combination of alcohol, passion, momentary pleasures and
i certainly must say
foolishness
which is a subset of selfishness

a young lady, full of vigor
when the news hit her
pale complexion, swollen eyes
had erased whatever joy left
i knew she had been crying
the monochrome image
sent a shock through my head

so much controversy about such issues
yet,
so much hesistation when it is placed
in front of you
for her, for her precious,
i write this belated eulogy.

as they always say
it should never have come to the world at all
a mistake never anticipated
i find that ironic mysrlf

in all good faith
a life is a wonderous thing
to celebrate and behold
a life in another life
is even more heartwarming
a little touch brings you closer
no matter how much you know
you have to say goodbye one day
and it is your very own choice

no mother would intentionally
forsake her flesh and blood
but child, everything happens for a reason
grief and deriding will come to pass
if life intends for your birth

do not be haste to judge
for there is mourning for every death
natural or unnatural
this kind of sorrow wrenches
the heart so bad beyond comprehension of men,
this kind of scar hurts
the human body so bad it takes a long time to recover, and worse
i may say
this kind of accord taints
the human mind and soul ForEver.

unproductive and sickly even in daylight
hungry and tired when day sets
not a moment of peace even in slumber
anxiously anticipating nightmares
that the one to be born
wants to change your mind and shower guilt on your action

the aftermath is the price
she has to pay her whole lifetime
the emotional toil is hers alone
no matter how you persuade it's of two
the sight of children
makes her gloomy each time
and she is reminded of her first murder

time will heal
with love and people caring
she feels happier
that part of her life is over and done with
but not certain phases
her own burden to bear
her own guilt to shoulder

wish you would be mine
when the time and place is right
for every mother's love is true
and the most touching of human life
