Broken

I watch the broken glass
and try to hold the moment
as the wheel turns again
and I am broken too

I see our unborn children
a girl for her, a boy for me
a world of private schools
and stolen, tiny kisses

I feel a lifetime of lovemaking
her living, breathing skin
stretched beneath me
above me, around me

I glimpse the life I would have led
beyond the life I lead
where I'd never see the blood
and never know the lies

And the moment slips away
and the blood begins to pour
as my mind and face begin to crack
she's only resting, you see
we have all the time in the world
