That day

By Gemini2012

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I got behind the wheel,You were terribly drunk,I remember my mother yelling,That you were a punk,My baby,My boy,My darling,My son,Was killed in the car,When you were drunk,It's all my fault!I wanted to cry,But you knew it was yours,You looked into my eyes,I sat there waiting for their answer,And when I got it,I cried,Not only cried but died,Inside my soul,My hope just died,And in my heart,The tears I cried,I didn't mean too!I say I care!I cried all night,but you weren't there!You wouldn't face me!You thought I was sad!But you're ignorance,Is what made me madMy son was dead,And you were alive,I was willing,To take the dive,He wanted to be pres (President)He wanted to be king!But now because of me!He could never do these things,Lately I've stopped drinking,Crieings now my game,I can't belive I did this,All I feel is shame Written November 5th, 2001 © on Nov 05 2001 11:07 AM PST, Melinda Hatfield   18 • 0 • 1
