Breaking Up The Hard Way

Close to the door

he paused to stand,

as he took his class ring

off her hand.

 

All who were watching

did not speak,

as a silent tear

ran down his cheek

And through his mind

the memories ran,

of the moments they walked

and laughed in the sand.

 

But now her eyes

were so terribly cold,

for he would never again

have her to hold.

 

They watched in silence

as he bent near,

and whispered the words

"I Love You," in her ear.

 

He touched her face

and started to cry

as he put on his ring

and wanted to die.

And just then the wind

began to blow,

as they lowered her casket

into the snow.....

This is what happens

to a man left alive,

when friends let friends

drink and drive.

Death of An Innocent

I went to a party, Mom,

I remembered whay you said.

You told me not to drink, Mom,

so I drank soda instead.

 

I really felt proud inside, Mom,

the way you said I would.

I didn't drink and drive, Mom,

even though the others said I should.

 

I know I did the right thing, Mom,

I know you are always right.

Now the party is finally ending, Mom,

as everyone is driving out of sight.

 

As I got into my car, Mom,

I knew I'd get home in one piece.

Because of the way you raised me,

so responsible and sweet.

 

I started to drive away, Mom,

but as I pulled out into the road,

the other car didn't see me, Mom,

and hit me like a load.

 

As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,

I heard the policeman say,

the other guy was drunk, Mom,

and now I'm the one who will pay.

 

I'm lying here dying, Mom.

I wish you'd get here soon.

How could this happen to me, Mom?

My life just burst like a bolloon.

 

There is blood all around me, Mom,

and most of it is mine.

I hear the paramedic say, Mom,

I'll die in a short time.

 

I just wanted to tell you, Mom,

I swear I didn't drink.

It was the others, Mom.

The others didn't think.

 

He was probably at the same party as I.

The only difference is, he drank and I will die.

Why do people drink, Mom?

It can ruin your whole life.

 

I'm feeling sharp pains now.

Pains just like a knife.

The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,

and I don't think it's fair.

I'm lying here dying,

and all he can do is stare.

 

Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.

Tell Daddy to be brave.

And when I go to heaven, Mom,

put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Someone should have told him, Mom,

not to drink and drive.

If only they had told him, Mom,

I would still be alive.

 

My breath is getting shorter, Mom.

I'm becoming very scared.

Please don't cry for me, Mom.

I really wish you were here.

I have one last question, Mom,

before I say goodbye.

I didn't drink and drive, Mom,

so why am I the one to die?
