It was our day.

I was dressed in white.

My uncle walked me down the aisle.

Your grandparents made it.

Oh how I wish ,

our parents could see the happiness we built.

You kissed me,

and then I understood.

That your love

could be labeled a poison

and i'd drink it anyway.

"Welcome home , Mrs. Anders"

"Home is wherever you are , Mr.Anders"

--

I had a surprise for you.

You said you had an emergency ,

you had no choice.

I said it could wait.

I was in pain.

Each cell burnt , like an ember waiting to be unleashed.

As if the virus I had fought , had etched itself into my body just waiting for the moment

to awake.

I was in pain.

Oh how i wish ,

that you simply stayed

for the baby in my womb

needed us.
