a new life

i knew long before i saw those two lines, the few short breaths
hot flashes, heartbeat skipping a few times, long long before
i felt you move there in my womb, your world, your dream
your life, all confined in a body not yours, neither now is mine

it felt funny feeling you there, another life within
not mine, but oh, how i wished it could be..
you, so sure of yourself, kicking, pounding, wriggling
making your own space, in a world you knew was yours

i wish to have kept you there far longer than nine months
away from the deafening noise and blinding lights
safe from the lurking darkness and cold breezes of night
your life, your dream all confined in a body no longer mine
