If Only You Could Bring Me Back To Life !



Here I am , looking at this world and the very first thing that I see
Is not what a baby looks at when she's born, all I think is how the world hates me
I might seem so worthless, but there was something you didn't know
I was sent here by god and you just left me back at his door

You always thought that I was a baby and killing me wouldn't be that wrong
Cause anyway I hadn't seen the world.. and my whole life wouldn't matter at all
But if only you knew what I could see from back there and how well I  knew all of your names
I saw you mommy ..You smiled before they killed me while daddy he was busy at the game

It all started 6 months ago, when you found out that I would be born
You laughed, you drank and you partied just like you never cared at all
Then weeks went by and it was only until.. you realized that you were too young
Wish you had known that ..it was never a crime but now you're 18 and you just killed someone

You cursed each day and I heard all of that as I slept there silently and I cried
But you said I was someone you never even knew so it didn't matter if I lived or I died
I wish you could hear me as I begged you that day, when your mother said it was the right time
I thought she was talking about the day you would meet me, till I heard her say. “You're too young, get rid of that child”

It hurt me to know you never wanted to see me or never thought of holding my tiny hand
And I had those blue eyes that you fell in love with ..the best feature you loved about dad
I looked just like you mommy and just wish you could see these tears that I had shed
And I  had that same smile like the smile on your face.. when you said that I was better off being dead.

Then the time it soon passed and in a few months I could've been born
You never thought twice  and asked the doctor to finish it.. just like you didn't care at all
It hurt so bad when he crushed me and you didn't know it but I could see
That what hurt me more.. was to see my mother tell the doctor she was finally rid of me !
I hope someday you could hear me and what I felt before I could even see the light
But I don't hate you cause I hope.. that one day you'll have a baby and give it what I never had.. "A new Life" !
