My unborn

This is a poem about my miscarriage - excuse the spelling…
You were so helpless and growing inside me.
When I first saw you, you were the size of a pea and so hard to see.
But you were there, there was no doubt of that, I was so excited I couldn't wait to get fat.
Then things changed I was in pain.
You used to feel so safe my belly for you was like a cage.
But when they told me you were gone I was full of rage.
I looked at the screen at what used to be you I thought id been feeling ill because I had the flu.
But the scan was right, you put up a fight but it wasn't enough.
I was going to give you so much love.
I'll never forget the happiness you brought even if never meeting you left me distraught.
My unborn child you meant so much.
