A Misunderstanding

I woke up and turned to the left

But in that second bed, under the sheets , there was no heft

It was  8 am and my roommate is a late sleeper

Maybe she went out on call, but there was no buzzing of beeper

I got out of bed and called her name

But she was nowhere to be found, my mind was starting to go insane

After checking all the main rooms

I started to search the closets, even the ones filled with  brooms

My last stop was the bathroom, I immediately looked down at the floor

There was splashes of bright red, it looked full of gore

What I thought was blood led a trail to the trash

All those blood soaked tissues  came from more than a little gash

I ran to my phone, frantically calling my friend

After ten unanswered calls, I knew this was the end

Something must have happened, very very bad

With all the possibilities, my brain was going mad

The day went by, I was nervous as can be

I tried calling the world, but all sources were silent as a tree

Finally at 9 pm, I heard a key turn in the door

I stared agape in shock , my heart began to pound even more 

In walked my unmurdered friend 

Her usually plain nails bright red, the latest trend
