"Oh No, daddy!! No!"

Oh God, that’s my girl. Come here sweetie. Come hold your father’s hand. Oh I hate this for you honey. Please come to daddy. Damn it Mary, make her come here and touch me. I want to feel my little girl’s touch.

"Her teacher said that she could stay here as long as she wanted to not worry about classes. He is being so kind about all this."

What kind of an asshole wouldn’t let a student go be with their father in a coma? Oh let me guess he was flirting with you too. Funny how you seem to attract our children’s teachers. I’ll never forget that son of a bitch that was hitting on you at our son’s PTA meeting. You ate that up, and just loved rubbing in my face that a younger man wants you. I’ll never forget that. Where’s my son? I want to hear him.

"Momma, I can’t believe this is happening."

There’s my boy. You sound like such a man now. I am sure that you are going to be strong through this whole ordeal. I want you to take care of your little sister. She is an angel and I know that you know that.

"I can’t deal with this. I can’t see him like that. I am going outside to wait on you."

Oh that’s it son, be a coward. Oh what do I care? I am nothing but a body laying in a bed. He doesn’t know what is going on. I heard his voice that is all that matters. I wonder what day it is.

"Sweetie, go on outside with your brother. Mommy wants to be alone with daddy."

Oh great, now she has some more crap to feed me.

"I got this card for you today."

I hope it has some pretty pictures. Being as I can’t see and all it would be so appropriate.

"The cover is beautiful."

Oh the irony! I would laugh if I could. Well since I am unable to read you better read it to me.

"I know you probably can’t hear me but here it goes. When I think of the times we shared..."

Oh this is so sweet. Do you really think that because you come to my bedside with some cheesy card that I could possibly forgive you for sleeping with another man? I don’t think so. You sicken me. You changed me into the cold bastard that I am. I loved you unconditionally. You meant everything in the world to me. I did everything I could to make you happy and that is how you repaid me. There is nothing you could possibly say or read to me to undo the damage you have done. I am just glad that this situation is tormenting you. I am getting tired of your presence. You should get going. One can only have so much joy in one day.

"I want you back in my arms. You are the greatest thing that ever happened to me and you will never know the pain that I feel for what I did to you. I know that is hard to believe but it is true. I want you to come out of that coma so I can explain this to you. I can’t live the rest of my life without letting you know how I feel."

Just leave!! Go away!! Don’t come back here! How can you do this to me? I can’t believe this. Don’t put your lips on me. I don’t want a kiss from your tainted lips. Stop stroking my hair and quit that crying. I hate you.

"Goodbye sweetie, I will come back and see you tomorrow."

"I am sorry ma’am, I will come back later."

"Oh no, I was just leaving."

To continue...

To return to the muse.
