Corpse Babe
blue lifeless skin
with no beating heart within
motionless small hands
lose skin the child will never grow in
they hold her and rock her as if she's alive
she's not she's dead
she'll never raise that tiny little head
they rock and hold a corpse
she can't feel
this is how they deal
with the fact that our newest baby girl is dead
I cried for hours so don't think I'm cold
just because the corpse I do not hold

Extra syllable in the last line....
try.....
It's just the corpse I do not hold.
The body is gone but the spiritual connection to the lost child remains....it's a thought....
