love is going to be
either born or miscarried.
dead or alive, it has to come out
dead or alive, it hurts like hell
i bleed like a bottomless well.
i wake
and fall asleep drowning
in guilt
in between rounds of drinks
he’ll excuse himself
to wash his hands of me
i’ll stay home by the toilet
see if the arrested
heart that i flushed
under a closed lid
ever resurfaces
either born or miscarried.

I'm sorry for your loss. I hope things are better. I like the way you write. I can feel the pain in it.
