Accident

Once a good friend of mine
But now forever gone
It hadn’t been your fault
Your death is truly wrong

How could this have happened?
How could you be dead?
This isn’t fair to me at all
Hopefully I created this in my head

A tear threatens to escape
Forcing it all back inside me
I whisper your name softly
Emotions choked when I’d come to see

Paying my respects to you again
I gently replace a dainty flower
Turning I glide away in silence
Looking up to find the hour

I see the one who took your life
Now anger replaces my sorrow
She walks unscathed by your passing
Promising always to “talk” tomorrow

The night you died she had driven
Under the influence she had been
Speeding carelessly running red lights
She partied until after ten

She did not care if you had died
She did not care of tears I’ve cried
All she cared about was herself
All her troubles and what the judge’d decide

She is lucky she is a minor
And her father has power and money
She received the minimum sentence
Her lawyer’s words had been honey

How could she be cold and selfish?
How can she live with all she’s done?
She took you from me
My friend my only one

I wipe away these tears
Hating her because she lives
It is all her fault you’re gone
An apology she never gives

I turn coming to your grave
It should be her lying here
Not you whom I miss
I wish that you were near

You had never done any harm
But you are the one who’s gone
If only it had been her
Your death must be wrong

If any good can come of your death
Then it should remind those who drink
Do not drive while intoxicated
You’ll hurt more than you think
