Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems - There's Nothing Left To Say

There's Nothing Left To Say

By Jamie, Mom to Maggie May

"It's time to stop grieving" is what they all say.
Really, tell me, where's your child today?
Maybe laughing, maybe sleeping, or learning to walk?
Perhaps crawling, sitting, or learning to talk?
You tell me it's over, it's time to let go.
Your child lives here, I buried mine, what do you know?
I'm glad your child is well, please don't get me wrong.
I'm hurting so much. I can't breath, I try to stay strong.
I want a hug, a prayer, maybe just mention her name.
The life I once knew is over, nothing will stay the same.
I start to cry and you quickly turn away.
Your silence says it all, there's nothing left to say.
