An angel from above!

Image courtesy: google :)

I know not if I belong here
I see those which I could never bear
I know not how they speak in fear
I feel that they are devoid of care!

I was sent with promises of love
They gave me as a gift from above
I was told they'll hold me like a dove
And now am alone, where art thou?

I long to see the womb which held me
Was our bond broken with the cord for thee?
Hold me once, its a heart felt plea
I came for you,couldnt you see?

They called me angel from where I came
A useless birth is what you name
I know we could never be the same
I die an angel today,without a life of shame!

Note: The 'cord' referred in the poem refers to the umblical cord which connects the baby to its mother and is cut off after delivering the child.
