The Love Of A Mother Poem by Trinidad Villafranca

Held down to the ground
He lacerates her open
Three words spoken
A simple 'I Love You'
Words she once thought true

Frozen she knows not what to do
Not knowing who to turn to
She runs away hoping the pain wouldn't stay
Not knowing a seed had already been implanted…

Nine months she carried in her womb
A baby she knew might look like the offender
She surrendered
She had no choice but to covert
The hurt for the love of a mother,
He had taken a part of her and left her with another

A child who smile reminds her of him
Who looks at her with the same eyes he once did
She forbid it from stopping her.

She tells her baby you maybe his, but you will always be mine
The love of a mother love beyond any other
