Barren and Broken

You made me cry for the first time last night,
I cried myself to sleep in the guest room.
The room that we planned to fill with children.
The doctors say "be glad you have a son already"
my body has made the decision to have no more.
My mind and heart can't do anything about it.

The guest room, with it's gaudy purple walls,
became a prison for me as I sentenced myself
to the misery of never being able to give you
a piece of yourself to share with the world.
I'm barren and broken.

What can I do? I can't give you flesh
and blood and furfill your American dream.
Now I wonder if I'll be replaced
by the next pair of fertile hips
that stray into your path.
