UPON A DAY.

[dadio]

Once upon a day
she would have kept it in
and have said nothing

about the loss of baby
and the way
he treated her

for losing
and maybe if things
had been different

she’d have been able to cope
and have said
what the heck

but she couldn’t
not now
not now he’d done

what he did
and with her
of all people

and with her little helper
with the small aid
she can chill out

and stare out
of the window
at the passing people

and not give
a fuck
but upon a time

what is real
creeps in and through
and she can visualize

baby there
in her arms
still born

and without breath
but still hers
and still loved

and even
at the most
pissed out

or drugged out moments
baby seeps
into her mind

and she wants
nothing more
but to hold her closer

and love her more
as she had before.
