Sickness

once again

the sickness settles

in my tummy,

nausea

takes over my life-

counting down the days

until the second trimester.

Here we go again, going to be the longest 7 months of my life 🙃

Deep rooted

this tiredness

stretches beyond my bones

and nestles into my soul.

Realization

I’ve accepted,

I’m not someone

you are willing to grow for.

Nightmare

I’m loneliest

in your company;

my once favorite spot

has become my nightmare.

burned out

overwhelmed and overstretched

nerves burning with rage,

body running on tired

I can’t keep up.

– Jas ©

Wet

your kisses

send a fire through

my veins, spreading

to my thighs- crying

out for you to sate

my burning desire.

My bed

all day

I longed for

your warm embrace –

to have you wrapped

around me, taking away

the sadness of the day.

10 days

10 days since you came;

10 days since I lost myself, again.

trying to figure out

how to be human-

a mother, wife, a woman,

is completely overwhelming.

Baby #3

anger swirls behind my eyes,

sadness mixed with nausea

settle in my stomach;

unexplained and undefined,

can’t pin point exactly what’s wrong-

oh, hormones you bitch.

the same

I imagine

a fish gasping for air;

flapping about on the shore

wide eyed and scared-

we aren’t so different.
