Did You Know?

by Elizabeth (pen name) - Not entered

he wanted me to
shut up.
I was round with you.
I knew you had curls,
even then.
blue-slate eyes
that peering
caught breaths
oh and you knew
you knew.
I called for you
states away.
Did you know?
Did he or she 
tell you?
I carried you
nine months.
He carried you
three states.
And he thinks
it erases us
Each step he takes
with you in the park
with that foot!!
the one he almost kicked
me with,
Round with you...
 

Reason for writing:

    My abusive ex-husband kidnapped my 3 children three weeks
before Christmas.
