SAVED TIES OF SEVERED TIES

You made it seem a crime

Meeting you

Always trying to charm

But no, never impressed you

 

Nothing that I didn’t try

Always a step dirtier

Churning out a cry

But now, no longer scrappier

 

A step backwards

New veins for fresh love

severing ties that draw me backwards

And saving ties of newfound love

 

Maybe, just maybe, true love

Can be borne of disgruntled love

Either she is unable to conceive or miscarriage has always characterized the aftermath of her conception. It is an unfortunate reality yet many women ignorantly or otherwise continue to indulge in the very factors that catapulted their miscarriage. Miscarriages happen quite often to many women in Ghana.
