Taken Away

Baylee

This bed feels like a coffin

and this restlessness like death

 

If this is the absence of a heartbeat

then there is no difference

between flowing

and stale blood

 

To be taken away

as if by mistake

a simple inadequacy  

of cognancy

 

Just so

I could not be to blame

for the heartache of my darling

 

But what a shame it would be

if death were to knock on the wrong door

that night.

    It would be a shame, indeed, Nicole! No more great writings, no more waiting for the next day to see what she would come up with!
