Our Fetus
By Brooke Davidoff

web: http://www.poetrypoem.com/brooklyn

poem: 1) Our Fetus

How do I know
you're not like the rest
here for a while
to suckle upon the breast
you talk of all these things
how do I know their true
help me believe
in the words that become you
don't be like the rest
please prove there's something more
don't play the other guys games
and shove this out the door
I would like to believe
something here is real
yet creeping in my mind
I'm hoping I didn't get the shitty deal

So maybe you're busy
away from your phone

Why so much negativity
'cause you're not answering the phone
I feel like I'm gonna cry
if us meeting was wrong
I don't understand this world
I follow intuition, dreams
the way I feel

Is that wrong
should I stop
un-plug my emotional clock

This is the first time
I've felt alone
in a long time
I can't feel you in the room
anymore
were you really here before
I shouldn't have let you in
shouldn't have opened up
but you were begging please
and my heart told me not to stop
I thought something in us was alive
it was much larger than trust

As the fog fades
and the room clears
my eyes focus
straight on my fears
what can I do
how can I change
make my mind rearrange

Was it all an act
just a mind game
because you think us women
are all the same
talk of marrage
talk of love
close the door
seal the room
no more talk

Silence hurts
non existant words
piercing my soul
exploiting my fears
the spotlight is glaring
my words flaring
damn the female mind
but what if I'm right?

I feel naked now
without your voice in the night

I feel something growing inside
most say "I hope it's not mine."
As they run and hide
emotions exist, maybe yours
we shall see if I miscary
I don't expect this to happen with you
yet how many things in life
do we know to be true?
I hope I carry you the whole way threw
I want you there
helping me deliver
all I think and know to be true
women miscary everyday
they abort to take the pain away
adoption is like adultry
upon this puzzle of life
sharing your emotional child
with someone else's wife

Our relationship- a fetus
bathing in the blood
hoping for a chance
he was meant to be
awaiting in the silence
of his safe and secure womb
having no choice but to wait
for he does not control his fate
