'I never would have thought...
It would come to this...'

That is what I remember thinking when I saw my empty home. Corrupt of the happiness that she tried so hard to put together.

I remember screaming and thinking about how unfair life is. How miserable I was and the question always asked :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why me?.. " I sniffed tears painted my face.

I laid my head down on her bed, and stared at a portrait of her holding the baby me. Then I cried some more.

I don't remember falling asleep on her comforter, but I do remember the horrible lump in the back of my throat that was making it hard to breathe...

Everywhere, ever so often, I thought I heard her voice and I would jump up and run into the kitchen but then I'd see everything still empty and bland, until I stopped hoping and covered my head under her blankets.

'Congratulations'.
That's what the cake had said.
'Congratulations'.
I had never felt so guilty in my life. How could I have behaved like that, think like that and be so selfish?

She already risked a lot for me but now for her to...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"This is all my fault. Mine and my dream." I said through tears. Then I shifted my pillows to match her body and I held onto it tight.

'Never again'. I thought as I laid there. Huffing for a breath like a fish out of water.



Never again....
