• My Love Story
    By: Erica Flett

    I have a story about a love;
    A tale so tragic.
    Once I had a relationship
    With a lust like magic.

    I met this man so long ago,
    An angel I could see.
    He swooped me away from all the
    Pain of being lonely.

    He grabbed my hand as I grabbed his.
    We held each other tight.
    I looked into his eyes
    And seen the sparkle, like at night.

    I close my eyes and lean toward him,
    While he does the same.
    I thought it meant something but I
    Guess it was just a game.

    He fooled me once but not again.
    I guess I was in lust,
    Because when it came down to it
    How could I start to trust?

    I seen him a while later,
    A lesson to be learned.
    I felt so stupid when he was
    There. But how could I turn

    My back on him when he needs me.
    I looked at him in pain
    Wondering why it had to be
    Like this. My heart feels slain.

    He grabbed my hand but I looked down
    With tears rolling down my
    Face. Thinking to myself, why me?
    As I begin to cry.

    He acts much more different now
    I look at him and smile
    Holding back the agony
    Because its all worth while.

    We sit there together, alone
    Talking to each other
    When he tells me he likes me so
    I start to feel smothered.

    He confuses me so much yet
    I know it’s all okay.
    For he is with me by my side
    That’s all he had to say.

    As time goes by I fall in love
    With that one special guy.
    I’m happy and he has my heart,
    Now we see eye-to-eye.

    We’ve been together for three years
    Now we are having a
    Baby. About a month she will
    Be born. Her name is Jillian Lorrain.

    I sit there with him, holding my
    Belly. Waiting for her.
    Soon she will be here to live with
    Us, causing quite a stir.

    I lay there in bed, talking to
    Him.”I love you” I said.
    “I love you too, more then all”
    He replied, rubbing my belly.

    The days are long, I feel her move.
    Waiting for my angel.
    She’s due any minute now and
    I start to feel the hell.

    We rushed to the hospital where
    My baby girl was born.
    The happiest moment of my
    Life. There’s nothing to mourn.

    I held her in my arms so tight.
    My Jillian Lorrain.
    She sleeps so quietly and just
    So innocently plain.

    He walked in my room smiling
    As I held my baby.
    He looks at me and asks
    Me, “Will you marry me?”

    Five months later, I’m going home
    From visiting my dad.
    I felt there was something wrong but
    I thought, it won’t be bad.

    Driving down the road, wanting my
    Baby, I hit black ice.
    On the other side, a drunk guy
    Hit me. I paid the price.

    The police came to his front door.
    “There was an accident.”
    He grabbed Jillian and left. In
    Quite a hurry he went.

    He walked into the hospital
    Wondering how I was
    Jillian was in his arms. She
    Was making quite a fuss.

    The doctor came out of the room
    With news that wasn’t good.
    My man fell to his knees and begged,
    “Did you do all you could?”

    He walked into my room and said,
    “You know I love you, right?”
    I nodded my head and said the
    Same thing. Seeing the bright white light.

    I felt myself slowly fading
    As I held her so tight
    “I love you!” being my last words.
    Drifting into the night.

    He cries out loud, “Don’t take her from
    Me!” As I lay there dead.
    Little Jillian laid next to
    Me. “Momma” she had said.
