happy birthday mr georgie

i do not know
how to wish you happy birthday

the past few weeks ive been having
phantom kicks

and im unsure if im remembering you
or her

i’m fighting against the joy
maybe you still seem too good
to be true

and her birthday hovers
like a parallel warning
a flag of impending doom

but really it doesn’t matter
if you had been born on the same day
or 6 months apart

the confusion would still exist
that you are here and she is not
and it was always going to be that way

so happy birthday mr georgie
let us just rejoice in you
and be glad
