An Unnamed Life Lost Read online

  She cried

  For the first time

  And it felt overdue

  But it wasn’t because of pain, it wasn’t even because…

  She had wanted to know that she came to this choice on her own

  She knew that she should have told me, but she wanted to wait

  Until she knew that her doubts were settled

  She didn’t want to worry a few months further down the road

  Questioning if I had said something to make the choice for her

  And now… how could she… how was she supposed to…

  How do you tell the person you love they lost a child they didn’t know they had

  So she cried

  She cried because if for a moment she considered this…

  Because all she wanted then was for me have a moment to be happy for the life we created

  And she knew that the time for such a moment was now passed

  She shed her tears

  The purest and the most selfless tears any soul ever could

  As she let her body fall to the floor

  No longer able to spare the focus required to maintain her own body

  She needed to be able to

  just for a moment

  let go of everything…

  … to say goodbye

  Chapter Seven - Truth Be Told

  It took me a while to understand

  When I found her the truth of the situation didn’t come to mind

  When she told me she was sorry I couldn’t feel the weight of her words

  We drove in silence

  I didn’t understand what was happening

  But I didn’t need to, I just needed to get her to the hospital

  She keep thinking to herself that she didn’t want it to be there

  That she didn’t want me to find out sitting in that place

  But she didn’t know how to say it

  She didn’t want me to hate her

  We walked in

  And in the most clinical way possible

  She walked up to the counter and said

  “I’ve had a miscarriage.”

  She held herself back from turning to me as she gave them her information

  As I felt my heart change the way it beat

  As my body began to cry before the realization of what she said registered
