(there is an original poem that is similar but has mom every other stanza. this is a spinoff in the drivers point of view. the original is anonymous and would be pretty easy to find. sort of irrelevant to my short poems but its a poem i wrote nonetheless. almost two years ago by the way)
So i went to this party dad
and i know what you said
you sad to have fun dad
but i acted like a jerk instead
at first i didnt drink dad
i knew it was wrong
but the alchohol dad
it came to me
like a song
my friends were all drinking dad
so i got pressured too
inside i was so ashamed dad
i knew it was the wrong thing to do
my sober friends betrayed me dad
i told them to drive me
they said i was ok dad
but there was a monster inside me
so i got in my car dad
feeling like a moron
the alchohol was getting to me dad
the liquor was coming on
so i started the engine dad
and before i even realized
i was in the wrong lane dad
a light flashed before my eyes
i hit an innocent girl dad
and it is all my fault
the police arrived there soon dad
they put her on the asphalt
they took me out of the car dad
i had no idea what was going on
i knew i did something bad dad
because of me this girl was gone
mom would have been disappointed dad
but i honestly think she took the hint
im startink to smell smoke dad
now getting paler, was her tint
i was hanging and pulling dad
at the ripped clothes im wearing
i see the girl dad
my heart is not bearing
truth is i was in love dad
with the girl on the floor
i was going to marry her dad
she said our wedding would be on the shore
im really starting to cry dad
shes looking at me, laying in her own blood
she, like everybody else, is judging me dad
my eyes are starting to flood
she was so beautiful dad
i loved her to death
and it became literal dad
i saw her breathe her last breath
i wish i said goodbye to jane dad
but i didnt have enough time
and now i crashed into her dad
i comitted a crime.....
this innocent girl is dead dad
ther was no one as pretty as she
im feeling really guilty dad
instead of the girl it should have been me
h.c.
