Venture Alexander

Stacey Michelle 1993 (CT)

January 23 
Sweet baby boy never conceived
My one true love I believed

The pain and guilt to mourn a baby who isn't real
Bundle of joy in my arms I will never feel

Creation of love we never got to try
Still in my dreams I can hear your cry

You never existed yet we will never be apart
Forever be the angel who lives in mommy's heart

About this poem

Breakups are never easy but hurt alot more when you have baby names picked. I knew for a long time getting pregnant would be near impossible, a miracle if it ever did. For a short while love made me believe in that miracle. Then it was gone the one chance died with the relationship.

    Being a rainbow baby myself, I couldn't help but think of my own parents while reading this poem. It accurately portrays, I believe, the emotions and thoughts one has after going through such an unexplainably devastating event. I was at the cusp of tearing up as I was reading. It really hit home for me.
