They Took Me

I wonder if I was abducted by aliens.

Because that’s the only reason I’m suddenly feeling unsettled.

They must have injected me with something that makes me sad.

I must have experienced something draining.

Maybe they took my life force?

Maybe I’m growing something new inside me?

And whatever is growing is hinting at something horrible that’s going to happen.

A new life inside me,

That gives me premonitions.

A new life inside me.

A new loneliness beside me.
