The little blue line
Such excitement, such joy
We could hardly believe our luck when we saw you appear
Disbelief and a tingle of fear
Our little line of joy
So faint at first
But a few days later, still there, getting bolder
Excitement building day by day
A little line of dreams
Fit to burst with every breath
How can I be expected to hold this in?
Surely if I tell one soul, it won’t hurt
Our little line
Weeks pass so slowly
Even slower when holding a massive secret in
So big but so tiny
Our secret little line
Sharing our excitement
Was everything I’d ever dreamt of
More people looking forward to meeting
Our little line
The promise of meeting you
Made feeling rubbish worthwhile
And reminded me you were there, always with me
My little line
Suddenly, shockingly
Blood
Heart racing, panic, this can’t be happening to me, to us
Our little line
Waiting and thinking
Thoughts enough to drive me insane
A weight of responsibility to keep you safe, to look after
My little line
The waiting is over
You are not there, were you ever real?
Just a little line
Now just an empty circle
Such Disappointment, Such Sorrow
Why aren’t you there? Where did you go?
Disbelief and a tingle of fear
An empty circle
Days of suffering and pain
Pain that needed to be felt but shouldn’t have been
But the end of the pain is the end of you,
Our little blue line
All alone, just me
Hopes and dreams escaped with the screams
My angel baby lost in a breath, but not gone
Our little blue line
