A Poem by Penulis Kecil
"

A week after I lost the baby I was carrying, my husband told me he wanted a divorce. This is a song that touches on both aspects of my grief following that time.

"
Three weeks of joy and all that is left
Nothing of you, nothing to touch
Just a moment, a memory forever etched
And a single broken heart

An echo remains, a door to the past
Photographs and fading flowers
Shattered reminders that love couldn't last
When hearts went seperate ways

Oh, Star Trek got famous peddling alternate realities
And reach though I might it seems they held the only key
Yesterday I fell back into me

I only ever break my heart running to the you that could have been
I just want to hold you in the world that should have been
But yesterday I fell back into me

Nine months difference, I'm still the same
Without you my life's so empty
I miss your spark, I miss your flame
Missing what I never knew

So many questions, I wish you could say
If you could only tell me
Would you look like me, who would you be today
And would your Daddy still be here?

Oh, Star Trek got famous peddling alternate realities
And reach though I might it seems they held the only key
Yesterday I fell back into me

I only ever break my heart running to the you that could have been
I just want to hold you in the world that should have been
But yesterday I fell back into me

What did I do
To lose you
What did I do

Oh, Star Trek got famous peddling alternate realities
And reach though I might it seems they held the only key
Yesterday I fell back into me

I only ever break my heart running to the you that could have been
I just want to hold you in the world that should have been
But yesterday I fell back into me

Three weeks of joy and all that is left
Nothing of you, nothing to touch
Just a moment, a memory forever etched
And a single broken heart

I miss you
