My Fault
My heart hurt.

The pain emanating from it
Was sharp, sudden, and ruthless
Similar to the way it felt
When I got the message from Quarantine 1609.

The one that said:

"We regret to inform you that Patient #0270876, also known as Misha Vida, has breathed her last. Our condolences and may you, her surviving relative, live on."

The message telling me
Of my mother,
Who had
"breathed her last"
As they called it.

Yes, this was a similar sort of pain
But still not the same.

Because it wasn't
My fault
That my mother had gotten sick.

But it was
My fault
That you had gotten angry with me.

I hadn't seen you
Or heard from you
For four days straight,
And I was a mess because of it.

I came to the park every single day
And sat under that tree on the bench
For hours on end,
Waiting for you to show up
So I could apologize to you.

I had offended you.
I shouldn't have blamed the government
Over their risky scientific investigations
And their lousy precautions
And their ridiculous scientists
Who couldn't keep their own experiments
Under control.

I shouldn't have,
But I did.

I should have thought before I spoke,
Because if I had,
I wouldn't have offended you.
And I would have known that
Your father
Was one of those
"ridiculous scientists"

It's my fault,
Really.
