Infertility

We found out that we are infertile in October. This piece came out of a lot of pain and heart break

Disappointment drips from our eyes 

Littering our faces and chests with ash

and traces of broken dreams 

Collecting at our feet in pools of 

heartbreak and puddles of 

unplayed versions of the life we envisioned.

Wading though the pain we find 

a recuse boat in each other's arms 

I whisper 

" They say it gets easier with time" 

You wince 

" I wish it were today" 

Reviews

[Julia Ledo]

Devastating with the title that drives it home. It's hard to be vulnerable so publicly, but it often makes the most touching art.

[Asante]

This was very strong, in my opinion. These words stand universally, and so the meaning can relate to a number of scenarios, but the title really drives this home.

Sweet, Crystal.

We all wish the pain would go away just like that. But I guess what doesn't kill you makes your stronger.

Keep on writing!
