The Lies My Body Tells Me.

It Rained Last Night. My body shaking and

rattling from the inside. Tests after test after test. My heart pumping heavy in mistakes. As I press my hand towards my stomach, I feel the kick.

She’s there! He’s there! But why do they continue to mock me?



It Rained Last Night. My womb will soon

become a casket, burying your body and

dreams in my regret. Shallow waters soon

to sweep you away. Wrapped tightly in the

blankets of angels and brought to God’s door.


It Rained Last Night. The touch of my lover no longer comforted me but became a reminder of my need to escape. The mirror, with a twisted

grin, laughs at my tears. But I crawl into bed, the

kicks welcoming me to my slumber. The soft

repetition rocking me softly to sleep.


It Rained Last Night. And it Rained.

And it Rained. And it Rained.

Then suddenly,

The Rain had stopped.
