Bittersweet Endings, by MrsPeterson Subscribe to rss feed for MrsPeterson

I pull my hand from my forehead
As I try to concentrate on whats in front of me
The world around me is blurred
Half has a strange red tint
The car reeks
What is that ungodly smell?
Wait
Did you hear that
What was that sound
OH MY GOD
My baby
Somebody help my baby
Somebody help me...
Where am I
Sirens in the distance

Days later
I lay here
Beeping and Chirping
I try to turn and look
But my neck won't budge
A familiar face greets me
With tears streaming

Another familiar face
Too young to understand
But I know it's ok
My baby is ok
The news is bittersweet
I am ok
To an extent
Someday they say
I may walk again
But for now
I am bedridden

I do know I am ok with this
I'll see my daughter grow up
And thats all I could hope for
