About the Poem

I wrote this poem for my boyfriend a few months after I found out we were going to have a baby. We've been together for many years and some of the things that we used to do together I couldn't do anymore. I love him dearly but at that time I felt like I was losing my best friend and my only love.

Waiting For You
by Petal
hateful words that seep under my skin
sorrow that fills my heart deep within
how I wish it could all go away
how I wish you would just stay
deep within me, inside my soul
these fights have truly taken their toll
the unborn feels the pain too
I wish I didn't have to always feel blue
please, my love, try to understand
I only ask for a helping hand
I don't mean to hurt you or put you down
all I want to do is take away your frown
I will always be there for you through thick and thin
I will always be there cheering for our win
I know the path you are on will soon come to an end
I know the path well for I followed for many bends
Now you follow it all alone
I know that one day you will come back home
and when the time has come for you to grow
count on me, for the new roots I will sow
I want to make you happy, I want to be happy too
even through these times I know we can make it through
And no matter what, "I love you. "
