In utero she was a burden

No love could ever fix

Born into uncertainty

She became the thing betwixt

Two worlds apart so separately

A romance left unknown

She begged for love so helplessly

Yet rarely was it shown

In love’s garden, unattended

Grew a stunted child not free

Punished by their malcontent

For a love that couldn’t be

This love child reflected back

His face so clear so clean

The two of them as one

She remained the thing between
