Two Lines

I dreamed you were in me,
Growing,
Like I have longed for so long.
I could feel a change in my body,
Swelling,
With pride and blood and life.
The feeling came to only me,
And the rest of the world kept on.
I had to make sure it was real,
Testing,
To see if you finally came to me.
Waiting to see the lines I'd felt,
Black,
All my eyes saw was darkness.
It was not one line, or two,
Black,
And I knew it wasn't a mistake.

I was bearing darkness in my womb.
