that you are loved.

Surely they must have loved you

To have acquired you
that way

I tell myself you must have been precious

Jewel heist precious

Only your mother had no insurance

No private investigator to find you

when she lost you she lost you indeed
every milestone, every turn of hope

When you were stolen she lost
trust in

.. the judge, the lawyer, the case worker, the adoption liar

Who should have all said no

This was never my job

To help rich people steal babies from the poor

not
my
job
