My Body has Grown, but my Child has not

My body has grown, but my child has not,
Stuck in the belly of one too old.
My body has grown, but my child has not,
Stuck in my heart, despite what it's told.

maybe it should have wanted less,
given up the half empty glass,
and thought it to be half full.

if only it had needed less,
forgetting the heat,
of the backburner it had pulled.

My body has grown, but my child has not,
And she cannot seem to age.
My body has grown, but my child has not,
And I'm not sure she can change.
