Miscarriage Poems - My Empty Arms

This beautiful miscarriage poem was written by the mother of a baby girl who was sadly miscarried at 15 weeks and 3 days.


My Empty Arms

Empty arms and an empty heart,

My life feels so torn apart.

It's not fair, she should be here,

Oh no there goes another tear.

I never got to say goodbye,

Why oh why did she have to die?

Time has passed, what I wouldn't give,

Just to see my daughter live,

A minute, a hour or just one day,

I'd give up anything if she could stay.

Maybe I prayed too much or not enough,

Living in pain is just so tough.

There are no words that can be spoken,

To fix my heart it's already broken.

Kindness from a stranger, a hug from a friend,

The love of my family, the pain doesn't end.

I'll miss her grow, I'll miss her play,

Maybe I deserve to feel this way.

Nothing to do, nothing can be changed,

Living without her, I feel deranged.

Racing thoughts my faith deceiving,

It's been a while but I'm still grieving.

Written by Dionne's mommy, Maxine Cantu
