Poem #3: Separation

[Sunflowersandlight]

Disclaimer: I want to show the rawness of my emotions and thoughts through my pregnancy and postpartum.

Separation

Jan 2, 2020

What have we become ?

You’re here, but far from me

It feels so different.

This change, this phase

I miss you.

Am I selfish ?

It’s not his fault.

His too innocent and beautiful.

Hide away the tears

You can’t see me break down,

I’m a mother now.

Why does it feel like a punishment ?

Not even a kiss or a touch.

There seems to be not much said,

There seems to be a routine

How long can I go like this ?

Silence comes and so do the thoughts

I sleep to shut down the rawness

I cuddle to feel the warmth
