The Good She Did.
The only good she did, was hold my babies.
A warm, rich embrace for nine months.
Supplying their every need,
until they were taken from her grasp.
When she was not preoccupied,
her focus would shift.
Shrieking, tearing, and scarring.
Leaving a bleeding cripple—that hag!
I cut her out—out of my life.
Focused only on escape.
Scraping, burning, and slashing her out.
Leaving no trace behind—steril.
Heavy emptiness fills her spot.
A cold, barren black-hole.
Nothing there to cradle or protect budding life.
Because the good she did, was hold my babies.
