B(reath)e [The Stillborn]
Joy, excitement and love
Happiness, felicity and passion
Counterfeit
Loss, sadness and sorrow
Birth
Breathing, loving and growing
This soul never experiences
Stillborn
This world never see true beauty blossom
Death
Parents destroyed, crying alone
Nurses distraught, doctors mourn
Devastation
The things that kill
Early
Mother, cradling a cold, grey foetus
Holding her only child's tiny corpse
"Welcome,"
To this cruel world
"Goodbye"
Counterfeit Birth
Stillborn Death
Devastation Early
"Welcome,
Goodbye"

You use duality very well in this poem. I see that you like to use brackets to physically convey your concepts, not just in the title of this poem but of others. I think you could explore that even more throughout the actual poems themselves for an interesting effect... :) good work!
