Broken Dreams.

A broken dream, that never lasted.
Her biggest part of life, shattered before her eyes.
Her everything, took from her life.
How do you think she feels?

A mothers only child, took from her life.
Her every happiness, torn from her hands.
Only an infant, that never got to live life.

Something that won't go forgotten.
A mother in a coma, a baby dead.
A man in intensive care, from his stupidity.

It was only a few beers he said.
It wasn't his fault the cab never came.
He had to be home, so he did what he thought was right.
Got in the car, and headed home.

A mother coming home from Christmas shopping.
Her new infant only a couple of weeks old in the backseat.
Bags of gifts, to spoil her child with.

She never saw him coming.
He took her child's life.
Put her in a coma.

He got off Scott free, no jail time, nor fines.
A single mother, her hopes were high.
Now her life, is a living hell.

The one good part of her life, gone.
She's in a coma, unable to be awoken.
And the man who did this to them.

He walks the streets.
A smile on his face.
Knowing he got away with something.
He thought he never could do...
