Heartbreak

I was scared and excited with a positive pregnancy test.
I was careful not to lift anything and ate only the best.
Imagine my shock and sadness to learn that you couldn't stay.
You had to leave and in doing so my hopes and dreams thrown away.
I held you in my hand, inspecting you with sadness and awe.
Heartbroken you were no longer in my tummy and at what I saw.
I'm not sure if I'll fully recover or if I'll try for another baby or not.
Because maybe I'm only supposed to be happy with the baby that I've got.
