You’ve left an emptiness inside
That from the world I try to hide.
Reassurance scan showed just a blob on a screen,
That could hardly be seen.
Just a blob
So why do I sob?
Just the size of a pea,
That’s all I could see,
Scan is ‘inconclusive’ they said,
This messed with my head.
Yet pregnancy symptoms kept increasing,
How deceiving.
This gave me hope,
It helped me cope.
I thought you’d grow,
Two weeks later, the scan said you’re a no show.
My rainbow shattered,
My heart in tatters…
It’s happened again.
