Empty

Went to the doctor
He showed me a screen
I expected a baby
Shock! Nothin’  to be seen

Womb, water and membrane
A lot of dark space
I didn’t go insane
Went home numb, keeping the pace

My little unborn tot just melted
No time to say farewell
My cryin’ womb, my useless shelter
Was a bloody hell

Bye, invisible treasure
I almost came along
The parting was no pleasure
But I had to go on

Do you know
After all these years
I still miss you
And cry many tears

Empty, 2008
