First born

I grew you inside,
until you came.
A slowmotion blast,
of unspeakable pain.

I held you
Nourished you
Loved you

Then a sound
entered my body,
and I dropped you
with a mute scream
that still echoes
throughout my mind.

Spinning
in a neverending
maelstrom
of guilt and pain
towards the vortex
of my life.
