The Two Red Lines

                     

I walked in to our room

 with a few flowers and a ring

I smiled to myself 

closed my eyes for a second 

Saw her face 

Then I turned the door knob

It was empty ,

The bed was undone

Clothes were scattered everywhere 

I didn't know what happened

But something didn't fit in

Then I saw the bathroom door ajar 

I slowly opened it

It creaked a bit by the movement

The curtain  near the tub was closed

I slowly touched the smooth fiber and moved it aside

There she laid 

with her eyes wide open

Somewhat in shock and fear

In a white summer dress  That I had gifted her

Her mouth was open

Her brown curls  all wet

She looked like an angel  Who was hurt

I slowly moved my hands 

They were shaking 

 To her nose,

She wasn't breathing

I checked her pulse

It wasnt there

I screamed I cried

I never felt like this

And suddenly on the floor

I saw a white rectangular thing 

which had two red lines on it

It felt as if the clouds

 came crashing down

It felt like the end of the world

It felt like the end of me 

How could someone  do that to her

She was so sweet  and innocent

She found happiness in small things

She was going to be my wife 

We were going to get married 

We were going to have a baby

She couldn't even tell me

We couldn't even celebrate 

I miss her so much now

I never got married 

I live with my memories of her
