🎧 i wanted you

A poem that became a song with a little help of AI

i dreamed of holding you 
tiny hands and little feet 
i saw you in my mind’s eye
a love so pure and sweet

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

but life took a different turn 
stars realigned the way 
in trying to find you 
i found myself each day

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

i wanted to give birth to you 
and instead i gave birth to myself 
through the silence i heard the truth 
i know who i am now

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

i built a world for two
a space for you to grow  
but in searching for that light 
i started to truly glow

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

no crib or baby shoes 
no laughter in the night 
but in the journey for you 
i found my inner light

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

i wanted to give birth to you 
and instead i gave birth to myself 
through the silence i heard the truth 
i know who i am now

This started as a poem, a way to process the love that doesn’t have a place to land. I later adapted it into a song using AI, blending lyrics and melody to give shape to something that lived inside me for a long time. It’s about loss, but also about transformation.
