Were you there <br />The day I heard the terrible news <br />'No heartbeat.' <br />Another baby I would lose? <br /> <br />Were you there <br />When I cried <br />Until I thought my heart <br />Would break, <br />Longing for someone <br />To hold my hand <br />As I prayed it was just <br />A mistake? <br /> <br />Were you there <br />The night I hemorrhaged <br />And I couldn't hold on <br />A single minute more? <br />Were you there <br />Beside me, <br />As I entered <br />Those looming hospital doors? <br /> <br />Were you there <br />When the doctor yelled <br />And I cried <br />And another ultrasound <br />Confirmed... <br />My baby had died? <br /> <br />Were you there <br />When they took me <br />Into surgery <br />For my life <br />Was in danger <br />Yet I prayed <br />I would die? <br /> <br />Were you there <br />When I woke up <br />In the operating room <br />Only to see <br />A terrible sight <br />I'll never find the words <br />To describe? <br /> <br />Were you there <br />When I lay all alone <br />In a hospital bed <br />Weak and cold, <br />Wishing you were there.... <br />Just someone to hold? <br /> <br />No, you didn't come.... <br />No, you weren't there.... <br />So never again say, <br />You went through it with me, <br />For I walked that road <br />ALONE.<br /><br />Lesa MRK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/were-you-there/
