In an upside-down garden

I cried myself to sleep last night,
that time you said goodbye.
They tell me it's not my fault,
I couldn't change in time.
I can't go back to yesterday.
Oh boy I wish I could.
I would turn around.
We could change our lives.
Just like we knew we should.
But I can't go back to yesterday.
No matter how hard I try.
Everthing changes.
But I won't.
I know we shouldn't have done what we did.
We shouldn't have gone to the jive.
I shouldn't have let my one true love,
I shouldn't have let you drink and drive.
I was out of it myself.
I couldn't say no.
So I let it slip by.
And this is what I get,I guess.
For being hesitant.
To choose.
To make a choice.
Wrong or right.
My love is gone.
Though it was so strong.
I'm getting even for you.
Even though you wouldn't want me to.
You'd want me to live my life,
and die when it was time.
I've got the kinfe.
I'll make the cut.
to see you one last time.
Cuz I can't live my life without a love.
Without someone to care.
I can't live my life without my best friend.
Someone who's always there.
There's blood all around me,
and all of it is mine.
I'm in horrible pain now,
but I'll see you in good time.
The colors around me are fading.
I close my eyes and see,
this beautiful little picture.
A picture of you and me.
It's worth my life to see you again.
It's worth my life to know you love me and forgave me.
And I can't wait.
For in my eyes,
Justice has been served.

For my anyone who has ever felt so alone.

I hope this isn't a true poem, or at least ending.

This poem was written well, but like Laura I hope that it isn't true, if it is don't just throw your life away, although I know it must be painful. All that would show is weakness, that you gave up. Try to live it to the very fullest, and like you said, that is probably what he would want you to do. You will see him again when the time is right, and don't worry girl, I truly believe he doesn't blame you for anything.

It isn't true but it does have a true part in it. I've never been a victim of losing somone to drunk driving,but I know someone who has and it really upset them and me. I,like some of my other poems,have dedicated this poem,once again, to Daniel and Terry. Two of my friends,and to Juston, my once true love.
But he loves someone else now. And to those of you who have read "Why?", it was his favorite of my poems.
