Last Hope

Contributed by ginsdance on Wednesday, 31st July 2002 @ 04:18:23 PM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry



Sirens... bright lights...
Hushed voices saying "you'll be alright"...
Doctors yelling... nurses rushing...
Little green line moving frantically...
It stops... Silence in the room... then rushing all around...
Sudden elation when the heartbeat is found...
Stabilized... then into the OR...
They said I wasn't airlifted very far...
ICU... week after week...
Coma stricken body yells "Defeat!"...
Mind fighting on... won't give in...
Made it through... Won't go back again...
Trial's tomorrow... I'm stuck here...
Better than facing my worst fear...
Broken thoughts... Like gasps of air...
Like the broken glass I laid in there...
He got mad... I hit the table...
Who knew he was that unstable...
Married life... just one month...
In the courtroom jury says enough's enough...
Attempted murder... what's your plea...
I lay comatose... He says guilty...
File for divorce from my bed...
Nurse tells my folks there's more ahead...
Get to go home when I wake up... Make it alone...
Refuse all his calls on my phone...
Get tired of it... Change the number... Move away...
Knowing that he's counting days...
Slowly I learn how to cope...
Him being locked away was my last hope.

An action packed drama for sure - it just saddens me to know the truths this is based on.
Keep it coming though - you gotta release in order to teach!
Best regards
Terry

this is an eye opening reality write. ONe that I beleive would help others to see, that maybe before the harsh abuse of being put in a hospital and or even dying, they need to see it all before this, and not keep staying with that spouse. I had seen much of this when I worked in the hospital for 20yrs. as well as having friends who personally gone thru it. But I also seen it from the male side as well, not just the woman who get abused. So I speak in terms of spouse, for it happens to both genders. Its sad to ever seen it happen in the first place. I got out before any real damage was done more physically. Its hard to make a decsion like that, to leave and be alone, or be alone and be abused....
I'm glad this piece was written, I hope others who have been there see it and learn from it.....

Thanks everybody! I do plan to submit several more of these... so please bear with me. This is something that is very close to my heart, and I hope that maybe I can help someone else make it through a situation like mine through these poems. Thank you everyone for your kind words! You really don't know how much they mean to me!
