Hurt
He didn't speak to me
As he took my vitals,
Monitored my stats throughout the day
And inserted experimental medicines
Into my bloodstream.

Everything was hazy
As I lay there
Motionless and freezing
On a wide metal table,
He in a plastic suit
And I in a paper gown.

Everything hurt.
My heart felt as if it had given up
And my stamina as if it could never be roused again.

I was separated from you
And it felt as if someone had reached
Deep down into the depths of me
And jerked out my heart.
I was separated from
The love of my life
And it hurt
Oh, how it hurt.

I was trapped there,
Drugged as he experimented on my mind,
My body,
The concept of my immunity,
And I felt utterly powerless.

"How are you still alive? You've been exposed to the plague for so long, and so many times...you should be dead."

He asked me a question
That I honestly didn't know the answer to
At least,
Not at first.
I didn't respond; I was too weak,
Too exhausted.

But he simply stood there,
As if he were waiting for an answer.

After a long few moments of silence,
I finally got up the strength to whisper

"Hope."

His face fell at the mention of your name,
And he took a shaky step back
In disbelief.

"How do you know my daughter?"
