" Alone " ...

She ran the tips of her fingers softly across her belly...
That smile on her face...
The glow in her eyes...
Embracing her new responsibility...
The one thing that reminded her...
Of her recently lost love...
The one thing that kept the memory of her love alive...
Her new motherhood...
She had lost her love only but a few weeks ago...
Tragedy they said...
But this new human being inside her...
This was his sign...
That her love is always alive in her heart...
In her soul...
In her life...
She found out only but a few days ago...
And suddenly her loss didn't pain anymore...
Because she realised that her love never died...
True love never dies...
And this was a reminder of their beautiful love...

But...


Suddenly she felt something run down her thigh...
she looked down...
That crimson stain on the crevasses of her nightgown...
All hope was lost...
Suddenly all that pain came back...
And she had never felt more alone...
That glow in her eyes...
That smile on her face...
That hope for a new motherhood...
That hope that her love was never gone...
Lost...
Gone...
Forever...
Alone...
