Angel in the Attic Outtake

Rosalie’s Lament: The Baby in My Arms

Soft and sweet

Sleeping dreamily
Dreaming prettily
Sighing silkily

The baby in my arms

Is someone else’s
Not mine

Tiny and fragile

More breakable than anyone knows
So docile
So tiny

The baby in my arms

Isn’t mine
Never mine

Watch her grow

See her strive
Trip and fall
Get up and rise

The baby in my arms

Doesn’t belong to me
Can’t be mine

Smell her hair

Listen to her heart
Pitter Patter
Thump-Whadump

The baby in my arms

Will never be
Can’t ever be
Dress her up
Lay her down
Rock her gently
Love her totally

The baby in my arms

Isn’t
Won’t

Not mine
Hers
Or theirs
One day: his

The baby in my arms

Will never be
Mine

Can I love her

Then let her go?
Love her as a mother
Then accept her as a sister?

The baby in my arms

Needs a chance
To hold her own

Protect her life

Give her choices
That I have not
A chance to have

The baby in her arms

Be hers
And hers alone
