1. I found the love of my life
She didn't
2. He promised he would wait for her forever.
She kept him to his word
3. It was a lot
It just wasn't enough
4. He woke up, rolled over, and reached for her
She wasn't there, and never would be again
5. They told me they could save either my wife or my son
They were wrong
6. After months of waiting he finally saw his wife
He'd never been happier but he knew he'd have to wake up soon
7. He never wanted to leave his wife
But it was getting late and the graveyard gates were about to be closed
8. My owner won't wake up
My food bowl has been empty for so long
9. I pick up your little collar and leash, and I almost expect you to come running at the sound. I will never get used to the awful silence (This one relates to me with my old man that left this world)
10. I rock my baby in me arms and sing softly to her
It helps me pretend she is only sleeping
11. I had carried her to the hospital, half conscious and overdosed, but alive
I was the only one who waited with her for her recovery, and every day she would reiterate how much she loathed me for it
12. I became an EMT to save people's lives
Twenty minutes of CPR on my dad proved that was a lie
13. The heart monitor chimed its final tune
Come the end there was no applause
14. I told her she would be okay
That was the first lie I ever told
15. "He's not coming, is he?" I asked, squeezing my mother's hand, the multi-colored party hat on my head slipping down.
My mother squeezed back, and without a word walked back inside the house.
16. 9 months of excitement came to an end
She never cried
17. I kept the ultrasound
Someone I never met
18. Mommy promised her the monsters weren't real
But mommy didn't know that daddy was the monster
