This Is the Scent of Quarantine Wings in a Hospital.

Dead walls, blank stares

The doors in the hallway travel in pairs

This enclosed gap, in such a hollow place

The beds all made with grace

I sit and take in everything that surrounds

An arrangment of sounds

People crying, people laughing, people dying

This place is oh so trying

She lies in the bed

And she rests her head

Her face is gaunt

Her weary stare is to haunt

One bed in a room made for two

With a beautiful view

We get up to leave

And with a heavy heart a sigh I heave

Wondering if I should ever see

Once more the face of thee.
