Take back your life,
The quiet nights,
Cut like a million knifes,
In the back of my mind,
I can’t sleep until,
I hear you breath again,

Seven years of darkness,
I can’t wait for the day,
We’ll play once more,

Flares still burn…
…in my mind,
Yellow and white lines,
Chime the end of life,
Hardly begun,
Unjustly ended.

I strive to get on with life,
But the lifeless corpse,
Still washes up on the shore,
Of my mind.

This loss,
I can’t override,
Let this be a lesson to you,
Don’t drink and drive.

This is for my cousin Crystal, I don’t think I have to say anything about what happened, it’s pretty damned obvious.
You are all very respectable people, but I hope this poem is one more nagging voice in your head stopping you from driving drunk.

"The lifeless corpse still washes up on the shore of my mind" such a haunting poem. This is truly a revelation... to see your pain in such a pure way... I hope this opens peoples' minds, and they do what is right. Thank you for sharing this. warm ((HUGS))

The childhood I should have had was stolen from me by a drunk driver.  My mother was paralyzed in an accident.  She never was able to cope with the loss of never being able to walk again.  So she made a choice to give me and my brothers up for adoption.  She only lived a few more years after that.  I have been told she died of a broken heart.  I never drink and drive...and I never let my friends do it either.  When we go out...I am the designated driver.  Dee

Lil OnE:  Thanks for your offer.  But i am well passed the point of hugs.

Broken_Heart:  haha, actaully it's Deranger, but i don't care about that,  I'm sorry we have that in common.

Dedreia:  I wish more people were as smart as you.  I'm sorry about your mother.  That is a hard way to learn.  

Thanks everyone.

I agree with the others, too true. The sad thing is that people are usually drunk when they decide to drive drunk, if you know what I mean. A friend of mine almost killed himself like that, but did he learn his lesson? Unfortunately the answer is: NO. Let's hope he is the odd one out and that the rest of us are sensible in this matter.
BTW, big ((((((((hugs)))))))) from me, even if you don't want them  
Oh, I almost forgot: great poem, Deranged Deranger

Dear Deranged, Deranger,
I loved your poem but the moral cuts a little close to the quick for me. My sister was involved in an accident with a drunk driver. Sometimes you die. Sometimes unfortunately you don't.

Be well

Wonderful message and reminder here hon!  I never have and never will dd and I hope those that do, read this, and think twice next time.  Some I fear, will never learn until such a loss happens to them or someone they know.

It means a lot to me that you have all responded to this.

Catalinamoon: Yeah, it’s a good message, just so many people are deaf to it and so many like it.

LM:  Thanks.

Lotharingia:  I am convinced that no one ever listens to advice or learns a lesson.  We are creatures of habit, unfortunately.

Kethry: There are so many things worst then death.  I am sorry your sister has to be a victim of one such thing.  Life’s a ***** sometimes, isn’t it?

jmlee12345:  Strong perhaps, but overlooked and ignored all the same.  Thanks.

Isis:  I fear, you are right.
