Rebirth

I sweat, I shriek, I write

Worried faces can only wait

I tear, I bleed severely

begging for epidural of hate

 

I can’t get you out of me

But I must or I will die

My back arches upwards

My legs spread open wide

 

Final push, truth and lies collide

I exorcise what you decimate

Sodden, panting, I look down

to see what you did create

 

I gather her to my breast

name her what I have been

Katy Megan and your surname

you whispered softly to me

Faint is the whisper
till softly it fades
like the rebirth name.

There's something really compelling about this one Katy - I love the symbolism in it all - the blood, the sweat, the pain, the exorcism - sums up how love can be sometimes! I enjoyed it.
