Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

A Poem by Alias

Today I sang and laughed with glee
But it was not the Christmas cheer
That made me so relieved you see
It was my own, and secret, fear

Amid the singing crowds I slipped
In to a private, sacred space
Alone - and trembling I quickly stripped
And searched to seek my own disgrace.

But what I found was that red bliss
That for weeks I had been searching for 
The evidence I'd sorely missed
In absence that branded me, a w***e.

I have not prayed to God for much
But for this gift I thank you desperately
It wasn't the worth the fleeting touch
I could not have faced his pregnancy.

Breathing a sigh of relief and it wasn't because sugarplums were finally dancing in your head. I like the feel of this and how you disguised an ending that I didn't expect. Once I read it the worry I felt in your words became a bolder font in my mind. Great writing Alias.

Wow, this is a striking piece. I almost feel guilty having enjoyed reading it :D I hope it's not based on real life experience. Great job!

Ha! Well, gifts come on all forms.
I was not expecting the plot, but it really fits the situation.

The ending line makes it seem that all this fear and guilt she is feeling is misplaced - that *he* is responsible for her torment, in more ways than one. This poem is refreshingly naked - thank you for posting.

I'm glad you picked up on that! I was tossing up between 'his pregnancy' and 'this pregnancy' since .. read more
