15.

15 you would be, if you had, had a chance to live.

15 you would turn today, if Satan hadn’t taken you away.

15 years ago you were born but never lived.

I never had a chance to know you.

You never had your chance to grow.

It pains me to see my mother on this day,

It pains me to think of how different it would be,

If you were here right now.

I’d have the sister I’d always wanted,

One closer to my age,

We’d share all our secrets,

I wouldn’t put flowers by your grave.

We’d raise our kids together,

We’d share all our memories,

Instead I’m here alone,

Left with nothing but a what if.

I'm so sorry for your loss :-(

"I never had a chance to know you.
You never had your chance to grow"

These lines have some relevance in current scenario as it bespeaks the mortality and shortness of life. I love this poem very much as I have the same pain. I lost my papa when I was in a COMFORT ZONE. I was a leech like embryo clinging to the Endometrium of my mom's uterus. U wrote it beautifully. Kudos to u

It is a true gift to be able to use your writing abilities to deal with such painful emotions. I can imagine this must be very cathartic for you. Heartfelt wishes for you and your loss. Please keep writing.

Wow. Definitely such a painful write. Im actually a twin. But, when my mom was having us, she slipped on the floor, and had a miscarriage, and i was the only one that survived. If the other baby survived, i would've had a brother, and i know it would've been really awesome!! But, i def know the feeling here tho. It's a terrible thing to lose a family member. Im very sorry for whatever happened, and i really hope things get better.
