Slow death

Like a baby left if crib crying 

fir the smell of its mother 
the food of its mother 
the life of the mother 
she is gone the crys will soon stop as the heart will beat last beats.. broken, left, cold, still, lifeless. 
she left and took every chance of life with her.
 No breast to feed, no warmth to live, death coming. 
You took my breathe,
my air out if my lungs, 
my blood stopped pumpin
 my brain stopped thinking.. 
 
I cried like that baby every night, when I knew my dreams were dead, 
when I knew hopes you fed me like food were gone,
 it was all black now, deep dark down inside your gone now 
no turning back 
eyes won't open
 better to stay closed 
thoughts won't stop
 try to work 
try to ignore it 
but it all was a dream 
nothing was real
 is just a lie 
a passage way
 look inside the eyes 
they are black inside 
inside the mouth u fed its black its cold its dead inside 
You did this do you see

This reminds me of a

This reminds me of a miscarriage I saw once, where the babies died -- 18 weeks gestation, but fully formed. It was quite a sight. The hospital put doll clothes on them and let the mother take pictures with them and her. It was very morbid to most who saw it. The hospital nurses opened their eyes, so that the eyes were all black as well. They sort of resembled little aliens. I don't think they do that practice too much anymore, although I am sure some hospitals do. It was thought to help the mother face the deaths at that time.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
