(I am sorry...I never shoulda acted all crazy like that And I know...you have never cheated on me You're the only one I trust....and now we are gonna have a baby And we are gonna give him - or her - a real family, that we never had) The love floods that drips from her eyes as they meet his While inside she holds a gift, the virus of new life Their hearts overflow with oceans of emotions mixed Happiness, confusion, love, hate, all simultaneous Holding her close as she drenches his chest with rivers of fear A single tear sprints down his cheek, his knees become weak He thinks, "here I sit, a child embracing a child with child that's probably More scared of this than I am It's too late to question if I'm ready for the responsibility 'cause I knew the consequences of lust, but I took part willingly." Just then, her left hand graces his face The love in her touch encourages tears to race She wipes the rain from his cloudy eyes Shaken and scared she takes his hand, smiles, and places it on her belly His hand trembles, heart pounds, mouth returns to smile As inside, she frowns, knowing she can't handle this right now "I'm stuck in this spot between love and my culture My cousin had a baby out of wedlock and they disowned her Should I risk losing one family to start my own? Or if I don't have it, will he hate me, and make me stand alone Leaving me to hold this bag of bricks and carry it for a lifetime While he can relieve the pain by just going home and writing a rhyme? At that point he pulls her close, whispers "I love you" to her lobes Unbeknownst to the dichotomy in the beauty that he beholds (I love you...and now, we are gonna have a baby) I love her now, and even after d**h She's my breath The only other close to my heart? my mother I'm scared, but prepared to give my child what I was never given, a life With its father and its mother, its wife I know realize my eyes see the horizon I'm no longer looking for a kaleidoscope to climb in Accepting my scenery, my fate parallel to grace I know I'm in love every time my eyes touch her face I love him, but I'm not ready to spring a life into this world I'm only 17, myself still a little girl I need my family too much to lose them for him But I need him by my side also, I'll have his baby someday He's the only one I see in my future, but now's not the time We still have things to experience and live out our lives I can't do it, I've decided. I'm only two months now But how can I tell the love of my life that I've murdered his child? Alone she sits, with oceans of regret soaking optics Heart ripped to shreds with visions of a dead sea No words can emerge from voice box to explain The understood hate that seemed to fuel his pain His vital organ pounds till his chest starts to vibrate Emotions unusual trapped in delusional mind state He knows not what to feel, or what to say How to react to the fact of, should he leave or should he stay? A cloud of sorrow hovers above the two broken spirits Without a clue Gloom so thick that love can't shine through He's thinkin, "here I stand, face to face with my angel As the blood of our child soaks her hands The hate I hold is a product of the love she evokes So in an obscure way, I understand" With arms outstretched, she lies his head upon her chest And she cries and continues to apologize "you know that I love you (I love you) And you won't be to blame if after this action, you never utter my name But I need time to mature before I give birth We need time to explore and find what we're worth One day I'll have your seed Even if the sun rays burn out and the starlight bleeds" Their eyes meet, and lips touch I love yous are exchanged And eyes lock till tear ducts flood with rivers of pain Love won't let them leave, there was a hold on his heart As much as my d**h hurt, it couldn't tear them apart So now I rest on clouds with other aborted missions I forgive you and understand the purpose of your decision I hope this story of my life hits the depth of many souls And when you want to tell me you love me, you don't have to Cause I know (I'm sorry, I should've never acted all crazy like that I love you)
