Letting Go

I am afraid to let go of the pain and the sorrow

The milk has dried up
My stomach has shrunk
I have lost the 10 pounds that I was supposed to gain

Even the calluses
From playing Guitar Hero to put her to sleep
Are starting to peel

All that is left
Are the new baby clothes
With the price tags still on
The new high chair
Still in its box
And the blood

The blood still flows

But even that 
Will soon be gone

What will I have left of her then?

So I hold sorrow and pain close

Wishing they were her instead.
