For my angel David Michael Thomas

Potential Reality

An impact on my life
No one else can understand
A brief visit
That will last a lifetime

I wish I could explain
How much it hurts to think about it every day
To know that I held another life within
But that it couldn't go on
A potential for so much joy
A reality of sorrow

Life decided to take a different path
Than the one I'd have chosen for myself
I wanted the joy and excitement
To enter a happy unknown
Instead I got grief and mourning
A lonely fate

An invisible prison
I can't get out of, no one else can get into
Unable to explain what I feel
Not knowing where to start
Needing to express what's in my heart
Unable to

Tears that I can't stop
Or explain the reason for
Other than to say I miss you

The reality is,
I'm crying for a life that could have been
But that was never going to exist
