He said: "I'm sorry, there's no heartbeat."
As I lied there in disbelief
It struck like lightning on a tree
I guess you weren't meant to be
I asked "What now? What do I do?"
He told me the options, I could choose
I picked the least invasive one
And left his office feeling stunned
I went to the bathroom, and then it hit
I tried my best not to throw a fit
But the anger, helplessness, and grief
Stole my composure, like a thief
I cried, and cried, and cried some more
Wanting to lie down on the floor
To sing and tell you one last time
How blessed I was that you were mine
And you, so tiny, could not even hear
And yet I spoke to you, my dear
I told you how much I loved you
And all about your sister too
I sadly had to let you go,
Through a painful process, that was too slow
And the guilt started to set in
Which I fought extremely hard to win
I know you're gone, I said goodbye
But the pain still burns deep inside
You'll always be a part of me,
My heart, my soul, my sweet baby
