Taken Early

It spreads like a cancer inside me.

I lie dying as I feel the decay slither through my skin.

Covering me with a thick blanket, I'm tucked in

By a mother who lusts to devour.

Her wings spread over me

Flightless, yet flying.

Not in the air, but through the lives spent.

She sighs and takes my hand.

Full of empty sorrow for the one

Arrived too early.
