The Test...

by Gem   Nov 21, 2006


(I didn't know where to put it, but i guess this a life kind of topic...)

Cowering in the chemist room
Looking at each other in fear
Hands gripped tightly together
Eyes bright with unshed tears

You see these two aren't stupid
They're in love for the long haul
She's on the pill, they're always safe
But now they've crashed into a wall

She fidgets with her college bag
Pure terror within her face
Clutching on her fiance's arm
As her heart begins to race

He sits next to her just as scared
Clasping her to him just as tight
Willing himself not to cry
While telling her it's all alright

The chemist lady watches them
With sympathy and understanding
She asks them for the test sample
Without being demanding

She goes to the bathroom quietly
Her eyes starting to stream
She shouldn't have to be doing this
Why can't she wake up from this dream?

He stays in the other room
Unable to stop himself from breaking
He loves this girl with all his heart
And for her his heart is aching

She finally comes back to them
Her tear stained face so calm
Yet it's no secret how scared she is
As she holds out her trembling palm

The chemist lady takes the sample
And begins to start the test
Cos if the outcome's positive
It will be difficult to digest

If this test confirms their fears
Everything will be upside down
Their whole lives will have to change
Everything will be turned around

She sits there shaking like a leaf
He looks like he's going to cry
But no matter what, they have each other
That love will never die

"It's negative", the lady grins
"No need to worry any more
And if you're ever troubled again
Just come back to this store"

This has taught them both a lesson
To be careful and stay secure
No matter what protection used
You can never be fully sure

But if there's one thing this has proved
Is that he loves her with all his heart
And there is nothing in the world
That could tear their world apart ©

    It was plain terrifying.
