She doesn't tell you - Poem

She doesn't tell you what it means,

When she tells you her little one is no more

When you will say, 'I'm sorry.'

And she will wonder what you are sorry for.

She doesn't tell you what it means

When she tells you that inside she is feeling numb

When you will say, 'Don't worry.'

And she will wonder what she will overcome.

She doesn't tell you what it means

When she tells you her baby's body will not leave

When you say, 'Be patient.'

And she will wonder how to silently grieve.

She doesn't tell you what it means

When she tells you of the hot anger in her heart

When you say, 'Please calm down.' 

And she will wonder if she's fallen apart.

She doesn't tell you what it means

When she talks about the torrents of blood released

When you will say, 'It's nature.'

And she will wonder at the flow of the deceased. 

She doesn't tell you what it means

When she tells you her beautiful baby has gone

When you will say, 'I don't know.'

And she will wonder how on earth to hold on.

She doesn't tell you what it means

When she talks about the sorrowful tears she's shed

When you will say, 'You're healing.'

And she will wonder if she's better off dead.

She doesn't tell you what it means

When she talks about the endless days of bare breath

When you will say, 'Time will help.'

And she will wonder about her baby's death.

She doesn't tell you what it means

When she talks about the dark silence that surrounds

When you were never there

And she will wonder at the pain that abounds.

She doesn't tell you what it means.
