I wrote a song just about childlessness after stopping treatment a few years ago and finally put it on you tube this year.
It talks about imagining your child that never was, not leaving a legacy and needing to move on
Zoë Walker
How can you miss something that you never had anyway
And how can you cry for the absence of a thing you imagined someday
And how can you long for something you just cannot see
And how can you have a reason when there is no reason to be
I'm broke I'm bruised
I'm halved, I'm fused shut
I have no words I'm not a lot
But I've met you many, many times
in a daydream
on a hopeful day in a shop window in a favourite name
And I've lost you many, many times in a white room in the shake of a head in a single line in a gasp of breath
And I know I have to let you go
Keep on keeping on but there's nothing to keep
Boxes of diaries written that no-one will read
I'm broke I'm bruised
I'm aching, I'm done
I never got the chance to start
or carry on
But I've met you many, many times
in a daydream
on a hopeful day
in a shop window in a favourite name
And I've lost you many many times in a white room in the shake of a head in a single line
in a gasp of breath
And I know I have to let you go
And I know I have to let you go
