Him (second version)

his face
my life sitting in front of me
tears running downmy heart exploding with pain waiting to burst out of my chest
I wanted to take it all back
But no
I was done,
Done trying to contemplate the agony that I exposed myself to everyday
I finally realized I was worth it
and I did it
I said good-bye to broken promises and forever’s that never meant anything
just your way to feel more secure about yourself
Like a band-aid covering up what you knew was there but didn’t have the heart to face
Lying to the one you called your all
Scared, unsure, and ready
freedom never felt so good
finally being surrounded by the one who meant it when they said"I love you" or
"I will always be here for you"
that was the day
the day I realized
my mother was right
She saw right threw you like crystal
The reflection of your ways mimicked those of her past
Her protection fell over me
I never thought it possible
Trust being broken
My pride being torn from my chest
Labeled
Petrified
but that's life
unpredictable and mind boggling
many people always said
"You'll understand when you’re older"
but that summer
That hot, heart wrenching summer
Like a boy with sweat on his brow
Quickly whipped away
Disappeared
Forgotten
life changed in a blink of an eye
unknowingly
I was strong
brave
yet I'm so thankful
I hate him for what he did to me
but love him for who I am now

For the day my life changed.

him

his face
my life
tears running down
my heart exploding with pain waiting to burst out of my chest
I wanted to take it all back
But no
i was done
i finally realized i was worth it
and i did it
i said good-bye to broken promises and forevers that never meant anything
Scared, unsure, and ready
freedom never felt so good
finally being surrounded by the one who meant it when they said
"i love you" or
"i will always be here for you"
that was the day
the day i realized
my mother was right
i never thought it possible
or that it would ever come this quickly
but that's life
unpredictable and mind bottling
many people always said
"You'll understand when your older"
but that summer
my whole life changed and i
unknowingly
grew up very quickly
i was strong
brave
and yet i'm so thankful
i hate him for what he did to me
but love him for who i am now
for the day my life changed.

Lucy
[sits in the corner impatiently contemplating for the right moment]

Ricardo

Shh..hold on gezz can't it wait?

Lucy
[playing withe the lose ends on a pillow]

Ricardo
[frustrated with her constant interuptions]

Damn Lucy you really have no respect for me and what i want do you?

Lucy
[making mocking faces and rolls her eyes]

Ricardo
[looks towards her with a nod]

Lucy
[thinks to herself]

Just tell him...oh my God it's not hard. Just freakin get a hold of yourself and SAY IT! i mean c'mon what's the worst thing that could happen? OH YEAH he could leave me! [frustrated] great now were back at square one.

[ Lucy is still muttering to herself as she re-enters the room]

Ricardo
[looks at her with a stupid look]

What the hell is up with you? I wouldn't talk to you so now you are talking to yourself?

Lucy
[freaks out]

I don't freakin know okay, why is everyone giving me the 3rd degree?

Ricardo
[gauges his eyes]

Dang! what the hell? Are you PMSing or something? Cause it's really annoying go take a freakin midol or whatever you do and get over it cause im not in the mood.

Lucy
[gasps as if disrespected]

WOW! You don't get it do you? Your such a dildo, hard and stubborn. If you knew me at all you would know what was wrong.

Ricardo
[shrugs his shoulders]

Oh my all that is holy. You really are all about the whole element of suprise aren't you. like it would be too hard to just tell me. [huffs] chicks...

Lucy

[livid]

oh right, cause everything has to revolve around you and your penis consumed brain!

Ricardo
[stares at Lucy with disbelief]

That's totally uncalled for. See that thing poking out of your ass? yeah, it's called a stick. Pull it out and lose the attitude. Or....just...go home or something.

Lucy
[stares at him with fire in her eyes and shouts]

ARE YOU SERIOUS! you're really about to make jokes right now?...{silence}...it would be like you to run away from your problems.

[eyes swell with tears and whispers]

i never should have slept with you...

Ricardo
[confused, makes a face of bewilderment]

Lucy
[shouts]

Ricardo
[sits back and ponders]

Are you serious?...well your the one that wanted to. Anyways how does that have anything to do with your crazy mood swings all of a...

Lucy
[blurts out]

I'M PREGNANT!!

[Ricardo's eyes bulged at the word and his jaw drops. He has trouble even remembering to breath. utter shock. Lucy however shows a look of waiting for approval and relief]

Ricardo
[has trouble finding words]

w...um...huh?...well...are you sure?...i mean...damnit Lucy!

Lucy
[appalled]

[silence]

Ricardo
[quietly]

..how did this happen..?

Lucy
[replies in a snide way]

well...boy meets girl. Boy likes girl. boy and girl get busy. put it in the oven and what have you got? A PREGGO EGGO!

Ricardo

[starts to get upset]

this isn't a time to be funny!...

Lucy
[smiles]

well...since I got myself into this shinanigan, I fugure it's all I really got left.

Ricardo
[scoots over and gives her a hug and kisses her on the forehead]

i will always be here

Lucy
[starts to cry]

Good, cause I'm scared sh**less.

Ricardo
[holding on to Lucy as if it's his only way of holding on to reality and not losing himself in the insanity surrounding him]

I don't know if i ever told you this...but...ugh

Lucy
[Interrupts]

what?

Ricardo
[tries to re-gain his train of thought]

I...well. This is really hard for me to say...so...well here it goes.

Lucy
[look at him attentively hanging on his every word]

Ricardo
[hesitant]

I...I...I think I love you

Lucy
[smiles from ear to ear beaming with joy]

...I love you too.

Ricardo
[sigh of relief]

so you don't think it's weird.

Lucy

Oh God no. i mean i think you should [ giggle] I'm your babies momma.

[ the lights go out and move to a different part of the stage. Lights come back on and are focused on Ricardo and Lucy in the basement many years later pointing a a picture they found]

Ricardo
[smiles]

Can you believe how young we were?

Lucy
[reminisce]

i know it still feels like yesterday. Maybe it's because i tell the story better. [smiles]

Ricardo
[wobbles up of the couch and goes in the kitchen and turns to where he carved her name "i love Lucy"]

I'll always be here

Lucy

no you won't i might get a few more years out of you at best. [both giggle, Ricardo leans over and kisses Lucy]

[Jonny (their 6 year old son) runs into the room and jumps on their laps and shows them something he made]
