I'm sorry baby, I didnt know, what you had in mind <br />I wanted so to speak the truth, the words I couldnt find <br />I wanted you to have the child, I would have been so proud <br />To see the birth before my eyes, I would have shouted loud <br /> <br />I would hva cried the joyous tears, the child I would have held <br />So gentle in my arms that day, my feelings overwelmed <br />Your face would burst forth radiance, you'd smile and shed a tear <br />As life to you was given, without a doubt of fear <br /> <br />You should have told me how you felt, we should have spoken out <br />We kept our thoughts held back so much, we thought we knew without a doubt <br />I thought you didnt want the child, and you thought so did I <br />We both thought wrong about each other, we cannot this deny <br /> <br />Your pregnancy did not occur, it was a false alarm <br />Although frustrated both we were, we somehow sensed the calm <br />We understood what we had done, accused with hurtful hate <br />But that is now behind us, I hope it's not too late<br /><br />Bradley Lester<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/accused-selfishly/
