a time to die

this poem is like all my others true to life ,I only write true poetry

A TIME TO DIE

 

 

 

 

I went for a drink dad

And I thought about what you said

You told me not to take drugs dad

So I had a drink instead

 

I felt proud as I drove my car home

I didn’t take any drugs

I remembered what you said dad

I was waiting for your hugs

 

I got into my car dad

Sure to get home very safe

I never knew what I hit dad

I suddenly lost my head

 

Now im lying on the floor dad

And I hear the police say

He never knew what hit him

The boy was where he lay

 

The blood is all around me

As im trying to stay sane

I can hear them say loudly

That she is to blame

 

So im sorry dad

IV killed an innocent child

I wish you had warned me

About drink not drugs instead

 

I wish you could kiss me

As I lie here and die

I wish I could forgive myself

So I love you and goodbye.
