A Heart Revived!

  What  in the  world  was  I  doing  here?  I  knew  darn  well that  I  had  no  real  regret  about  the  old  pervert  that  was  in  that  coffin.  I  believe  in  calling  a " spade  a  spade "  and  if  the  truth  was  to  be  told,  my mind  was  screaming "what  took  you  so freaking long.  I am  on  my "no profanity  kick " so I knew  these  mild  expletives  were  definitely  not  expressing  my  true  sentiments. So  getting  back  to  my  first  question,  exactly  why  am  I  here?  Oh,  hell,  who  am  I  fooling.  After  almost  ten  years  just  the  mere  thought  of  seeing  him  has  got  me  as  giddy  as  any  lovesick  teen.

  Funny  how  time  slips  away  but  memories  can  linger  forever.  We  both  agreed  that  ours  was  a  love  that  could  never  come  to  fruition. Too  many  complications.  Well I guess so,  you  old  fool,  when  you  were  married  to  his  brother .  Yet,  here  I  am,  hoping  to  catch  a  glimpse  of  him.  With  these  extra  pounds,  he  probably  won't  even  give  me  a  second  glance. But  boy,  we  have  been  hot  for  each  other  for  more  than  thirty  years  and  no  matter  how  long  we  were  apart,  the  moment  we  saw  each  other,  the  fires  were  set  ablaze.

  Well,  I  guess  I'm  not  the only  one  who  came  for  the  living  and  not  the  dead.  Both  ex-wives  and  that little  bimbette  that  put  him  through  the  wringer  with  her  hot  little  body  and  her  whorish  ways.  OK, that's  stretching  it  a  bit.  He  was  into  her  just  as  much. Oh,  well,  let  me  fade  into  the background,  for  when  it  comes  to  him,  that  seems  to  be  my  place.  "Oh, I'm  sorry,  I'm  so  clumsy." Now  this  is  not  the  way  I  wanted  to  bump  into  him . Damn,  he  looks  good  enough  to  eat.  Am  I  drooling  here.  May  as  well  deal  with  him  and  make  my  getaway.

   Where  did  all  these  vultures  come  from. They  don't  waste  any  time,  the  cunts! You  are  exs  for  a  reason.  Move, he's  mine.  Sure,  he is.  He's  calling  my  name!  He's  taking  my  hand !  He's  not  going  to  kiss  me  in  front  of  everyone!  He's  kissing  me, oh,  god,  this  is  embarassing!  This  is  heaven!  Maybe  I'm  the  dead  one.  "He's  dead  now,  you're  mine.  I've  waited  for  thirty  years  for  this,  endured  women  I  never  loved  and  now  he's  gone.  I  came  for  you  not  him."  I  couldn't  believe  the  words  were  coming  from  the  very  lips  that  had  just  breathed  life  back  into  this  old  heart.

   I  don't  want  to  open  my  eyes  to  see  the  shock  on  the  faces  of  family  and  friends  but  I  had   to  just  to  make  sure  I  wasn't  dreaming. I  wasn't,  there  he  was,  my  forbidden  love,  holding  me  while  my  dead  husband  lay  there,  no  longer  able  to  prevent  what  he  tried  to  kill  for  years.  The  love  between  his  brother  and  I.  My  heart  was  alive  with  the  want,  need  and  desire  of  the  only  man  I  had  ever  loved. Suddenly,  all  the  abuse,  mentally  and  physically,  made  sense  because  he  was  here.

   I  didn't  want  to  be  here  but  that  damn  judge  said  I  showed  no  remorse  so  I  needed  to  see  that  monster.  She  thinks  I'm  the  monster  for  killing  him.  But  I  agreed  to  come,  not  to  grieve,  but  to  see  my  love. I got  want  I  needed  and  now  I  can   go  do  this  time  knowing  that  my  heart  will  live  with  him  long  after  I'm  gone.

   Look  at  these  fools.  They  think  I  killed  my  husband  for  his  brother.  Well,  I  did.  Not  only   because  I  wanted  him  for  myself,  but  because  I  not  longer  wanted  that  pervert  to  have  him.  They  just  don't  know,  but  he  does .  He  knows  and  he  loves  me  just  as  much  as  the  day  his  brother  saw  him  kissing  me  and  made  me  watch  as  he  raped  him  and  humilated  him. The bond  of  our  love  was  sealed  that  day  and  throughout  all  the  years  of  abuse  for  both  of  us by  that  monster's  hands,  the  love  lived. He  finally  got  away,  but  I  stayed  and  I  finally  slew  that  dragon.

  My  prince  came  back,  the  monster  is  dead  and  my  heart  is  revived. Good-bye, my  sweet  prince,  you  are  truly  free  now.

    Whoah! What a story you've told here. It started out so tame...and the irony of the "no cursing kick" came back to me at the end, as I realized what the narrator had done...Man, what a tale. I love a good short story, and that's what you have here.

    I will say, however, that the first stanza was confusing...I wasn't sure exactly who she was wanting to see...I thought you were saying she wanted to see the dead body at first...you clarify somewhat in the second paragraph. By the third, i understood completely. But I'm sure you could untangle things a bit better if you rework the first paragraph.

    I think the effort would be well-spent. this is a very entertaining piece of writing.

    Whew! What a dark, dark love story. I am impressed with such imagination and plot...narcissism to the max and very sinister.

    There is a piece written by Margaret Atwood called John and Mary. For some reason, this takes me back to it. She was making a point about plot in writing, with a cryptic twist at the end...we all die.

    I could not help being morbidly fascinated with this monologue. Well-done twisted intrigue. ~ Karen
