They say I am not related to you <br />Your veins don’t share my blood <br />Your cells entwine not with my gene <br />Your eyes are not …..That green <br />I had you not …nurtured inside <br />In the sterile emptiness of my womb <br />The echoes you adapted in dark <br />Were not my cords …were not mine <br />The dark you were weaved in <br />Had never been a part of mine <br />They say I am not related to you …but <br />Your beats share my heart <br />Your pulse assures me life <br />Your eyes share a glimpse of mine <br />You speak my words…. you speak my tone <br />You speak of me as your own <br />I had not you in the entangles of cells <br />But I had you in my deepest core <br />I had not you in my flesh n blood <br />But I always had you in my soul <br />They still say I am not related to you …. <br /> <br /> <br />3 July 2009<br /><br />irum inayat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/adoption-6/
