Her Story

She is surrounded by loved ones but is still alone,

It seems to her that no one is in her home,

She talks to herself, writes letters to nobody,

Still posts them to an address unknown,

In a blind hope that isn't a hope anymore,

She doesn’t smile, not even for a little while,

Numbness is ever growing,

She never even cries, her husband is out of tries,

She just wants her time with herself,

She isn’t a little girl anymore but she plays with a doll,

Marrying her to a prince of a faraway land,

Dressing her as she did when it was her age to play,

She's losing her sanity day by day,

Her world is changing into something even she isn’t aware of,

She's losing hold of reality, losing her sanity,

People ask what happened to her, family just keeps mum,

Something happened to her the other night,

She is in the hospital, psych ward,

She isn't that her anymore, she isn't anyone anymore,

She just cries out one name "Cynthia Cynthia",

Nobody in her family knows who Cynthia is,

But her husband is standing behind a wall crying,

In fact he's hiding behind the wall, trying to hide his tears,

But he knows who Cynthia is,

Her condition is deteriorating, she's tied to the bed,

Tied so that she can’t hurt herself,

Tied so she can’t hurt anybody,

She avoids to eat, haven't eaten for days,

Doctor has lost hope, family has given up,

After 10 days of bringing her to hospital, she breathed her last breath,

Family is crying, nurses have tears in their eyes,

Nobody knows the reason but her family,

Her husband blames himself, why he didn't stood up for her,

"Now no use of regret", voice in his mind whispers, "You aren’t a man after all."

This is what happens when you take away the loved one who isn’t even born yet.

Cynthia was the name she gave to her unborn daughter
