My sister had a baby today and I am heartbroken.
I ache like someone died
Someone did, but no one knew them
Except me

My sister had a baby today and he is perfect.
Red, wriggly, eyes closed
He stretches in his sleep
He has her eyes

My sister had a baby today and I am angry.
Why not me?
How is it decided who gets to love
and who doesn’t?

My sister had a baby today and I can’t wait
To hold him, smell him, rock him
To tell him all about his cheeky mum
To love him

My sister had a baby today and she is in love.
And she is broken
And I am in love
And I am broken
