Reach Within

Reach Within

You know my pain and hear my cries
You try to reach me through the mist
That surrounds and twirls around us.
But I feel lost and dull my eyes
To shield the hurt within my soul
That threatens now our love.

Why don't you feel the wound that tore
When nature cheated me?
Why can't you grieve and weep with me?
My loss was yours but felt the more -
The beat, the still, the ache inside
My womb, my mother's heart.
