 Title: Promises
Source/Author: Kim Sarich
Background: Amy is at her boyfriend, Brad's funeral. He's killed himself because his life was horrible and he had just had some sort of fight with her. He took away the only thing she loved in this world and she's deeply upset and furiously angry at the same time. She tells him how she feels standing over his open casket, hoping to relief herself of all the anger before she breaks down.
Monologue: I feel tears but I donÌt understand why theyÌre here. I donÌt understand too much but I understand that you arenÌt what I thought you were. I believed in you. I felt that there was something to look forward to seeing. You *ed it up you know that? You *ed it all up. I hate to love you. I donÌt know why I ever started...No... No.. I know why. I donÌt really regret it but IÌm not sure that I shouldnÌt. You make me sick... youÌre not even here and you make me sick. But I love you. WhatÌs wrong with me? Is there something wrong with me? What the hell am I doing here? I donÌt even know half these people and theyÌre all staring at me wondering why the hell IÌm crying over you right now. I donÌt know what to tell them÷ Are you happy? I actually don't know what to say for once! For once in my life IÌm confused and I donÌt know what to say. Why am I talking to you? YouÌre not here... Well, youÌre here but....but not there. Why am I crying???? I shouldnÌt be crying!! (Complete mood change) I need you. You realize youÌve completely ruined my life. You were my life... and now youÌre gone... so, whatÌs left for me? I donÌt know if IÌm crying more over the fact that youÌre gone and I love you÷ or if itÌs just because I donÌt have anything left to live for and youÌve taken away the only thing in my life worth caring for. Now what am I supposed to do? I hate you, you know that? I hate you because....because IÌm so in love with you. I hate the fact that youÌve taken something away so precious. I just wish...no never mind....I donÌt wish anything. I donÌt wish.. thatÌs what youÌd expect me to say at a time like this. Well, IÌm not going to say anything. Why did you do this to me? You knew this was going to happen so why did you do it to me?? WHY!? WHY AM I CRYING!? I shouldnÌt be crying. I hate you....so why am I crying!? Brad, promise me one thing...promise me youÌll forgive me for hating you right now. I need to hate you right now. (Pause) Promise me another thing...promise me youÌll wait for me.

I loved the monologue. It was very moving and gave you the goods to perform. I think that the writer of this piece needs to be commended for their efforts and keep writing. I don't know when it was written but, it is could be a page out of today's newspaper.
