Upon your situation,

My mind does often dwell

typing then deleting,

“I hope you’re doing well”

 

I want to ask your progress

On this path that we both trod

But am scared to get an update

That breaks both of our facades

 

I want to let you know

that I pray each night and day

that your wishes will be granted

but these words I dare not say

 

All too well I know the feeling

Of the only childless friend

I want to share our sorrows

But my will just won’t press send

 

I want to yell and scream

Filled to bursting both my lungs

That I love and care about you

But the cat has found my tongue

 

So in this poem I write

All the thoughts I cannot tell

Thrown into the void

Like a wish into a well

 

My dearest friend I love you

Childless or not

Your worth is so much more

Than the children you’ve begot
