Five fingers, five toes
A single heartbeat of hope
Two eyes, two ears
I had waited for what felt like years
His mouth, my nose
In the end, only heaven knows
Roses, lilies and bluebells
Who delivers flowers to angels?
Three syllables before our last name
You left as soon as you came
Nine months for me, a day for him
When I sing, do you hear it in the wind?
All the promises we never made
Remind me of your unmade bed
Lullabies, bedtime stories and babbling
All I have left is the sound of mourning
