The Lab
Two more days passed
Before I thought to check the lab for you.
Were could you possibly be imprisoned
As a test subject?
My heart broke at the thought
Of them sticking tubes in your body
Pouring vials of vulgar liquid down your throat,
Sticking you with needles filled with
Antidotes that failed
Time and time again.

I knew they failed because
Not once had any patient who was
Wheeled behind those doors
Ever returned alive.

And so,
During the day I would lay behind the glass,
Faking a sickness
That everyone but the doctors and I
Seemingly had,
And at night I left my prison
To search once more
For you.

The lights were off
When I sprinted down the hall,
Silent and unseen,
Almost like a ghost.

The lab's lights were not turned off,
But there was an ID scanner next to the door,
And I knew if I tried to walk in without an ID card,
I would be captured
And all these horrible days and nights
Spent in the quarantine
Would be for nothing.

And so, I waited
And I thought
And I schemed.

The following night, I was ready.
