Baby Blues by Kaylyn Walls

Baby Blues

The ocean in your eyes,
Unsure of what the future lies.
The waiting
The wondering
The wishing

The nurses bring you near
In hopes to ease my fear.
Our eyes finally meet.
That moment is bittersweet.
How could I not love thee?
As we approach the slope,
I begin to hope.

The ocean in your eyes,
Unsure of what the future lies.
The hoping
The heartache
The handicap
Time moves differently now that we are together.
They say, “Baby blues don’t last forever.”
As I look into your eyes,
I wonder if they will remain the color of a summer’s day sky.
You, my darling, my life, and my son, I adore.
My heart is just so sore.

This depression is surrounded with misconception.
I am left to question.
Who can help me?
What is my problem?
When will it end?
Where can I go?
WHY is this happening?
How could I not love thee?

The ocean in your eyes,
Unsure of what the future lies.
The yawning
The yearning
The yesterday
