Please be Negative

by Chritty - Aries

she sits down on the leather couch
many things are running through her head
why did she have that one night stand
what seem like the best sex she ever had
became the worse night of her life
six weeks later she sits here on the floor
awaiting her destiny and fate
her heart is full of pain and her soul is full of hate
her tears are dry
she doesn’t know what to do now
the man she slept with had seen her on the street
he was tired and his face was a pale shade of green
he approached her and the words he said tore her life apart
she didn’t know what to say, she couldn’t cry
or react in any way 
all she could do was say why
why her she just wanted a fulfillment
love for a night
she  went home and sat down on the couch
and prayed to God that this was not true somehow
alone and afraid she could not block his voice
she had little but no choice
if it was true what was she going to do
how could this be this couldn’t be happening
she walked into the clinic
she could feel the stares and the criticism
her mind is blank and her heart is racing
oh please God let me be negative
the doctor calls her in
she feels faint, her entire life runs through her mind
she was only nineteen she had so much to live for
it wasn’t her time
and she didn’t want to die like this
she didn’t want to taste an angel’s kiss
not right now
oh please God let me be negative
she closes her eyes as the needle goes in
her head lightens and her heart skips a beat
she will have to wait two weeks
to know if her life will soon end
too late it already  ended when she saw her one night stand on the street

Reason for writing:

    I wrote this poem about my college roommate..she and I went to a frat party and she had a one night stand..six weeks later the guy found her and told her that he was HIV postitive..
