I ran out of air.

Couldn’t  you hear me screaming,
When you were walking away?
You left me there to die,
In a garbage bag that day.
Why didn’t my scared cries,
Bring you back, to get me?
The terror I was feeling,
Why couldn’t you see?
I couldn’t see you mommy,
I was running out of air.
It was very cold,
There was darkness everywhere.
Why did you put me here?
Did I do something wrong?
You carried me in your belly,
For oh so long.
You never gave me a name,
You never gave me a kiss.
A few years from now,
You will wonder what you missed.
Do you miss me sometimes?
When you look at your belly?
Do you remember my face,
When you close your eyes to sleep?
Do you wonder where I’m at,
Now that you put me to rest?
Do you wonder what I would look like,
When I grew up?
Do you wonder if I feel pain?
Do you wonder why you did this?
Do you wish I were still there with you?
Do you wish you could hold me one last time?
Do you wish you could hear me cry?
Do you wish you could see me take my first steps?
Do you wish you could tickle my little feet?
What is it that you wish for, mommy?
Whatever it is, It’s too late, I’m gone forever.
I can’t come back,
I can’t hear, or see you.
You can’t kiss me, or tell me that you love me.
You can never look me in the eyes again.
To tell me that you’re sorry,
Sorry for doing this to me.
