I let him go

Made for a contest... but i absolutely love it, it's close to me.

 

   I let him go

 

Where does he lie at night?

The child whose hair sparkled

And skin still able to be seen through the night.

Does he know who I am?

That I sit here and want him so near

He no longer thinks of me as god,

As his mother, of this I fear.

I had a chance for a life with his smile,

His tiny fingers that twirl and tangle my hair

But now my heart is torn beyond repair

I long for my baby, yet his name I’ll never know.

He knows how much I love him so.

It’s for that reason I let him go.

Author's Note

Critique, it's my baby( fuiguratively) :))

You seem to have very good flow with your poems, and this is no exception!

Although, I am confused with what the poem is about, one minute I'm thinking giving away to adoption, the next abortion?

Whatever it is, it's great. Good use of emotion.
