Aftermath of Humpty Dumpty

Infertility strikes again

Aftermath of Humpty Dumpty-

I feel as though I've lost a loved one
Anguish feel like worms crawling
through my veins
consuming my mind, enveloping my spirit
Not releasing

Words meant to console penetrate
Echoed vibrations ring out in my ears
"At least you have one!"
One what a lonely verse!

Wounding my heart
The thought of my girl staying an only child
with no siblings or allies
tears me apart

Grateful for what I have certainly
Still that doesn't make the maternal instinct go away
Infertile couples singular in understanding my solace
My bed becomes my enemy

Sleepless nights, drained person, lifeless corpse
My body melds into the foam surface
Not wanting to become one with the mattress

Each tear shed an egg toppling from the nest
Falling and smashing to the pavement
Clocks hands point and laugh
