there was a girl called
flirty shirly
who was alot like me and you
'cause shopping and having fun
was all she cared to do

tommy girl and guess clothes
was what she liked to wear
i used to go to her house
and help her dye her hair

she tell me stories
of all the guys
she was dating at the time
she'd giggle when she told
about that special guy

she liked to go to parties
hang out real late
smoking joints and taking shots
all night with her date

the party would end as parties do
no one wanted to go home
there was a place called
2 lovers point
thats where she liked to go

so off they'd ride
in his fast car
to end the night just right
he'd take her home
she'd sneak in
before the morning light

but on this night
she never came home
her parents and her
had a fight
so she drove with her guy
to 2 lovers point
as they always did
but friends say they never made it
they saw their car go off the ridge

he only had a couple beers
a couple tokes of weed
he done this a million times
knew every curve by heart
could have driven this road with his eyes shut
was all we ever heard
well tonight this all changed
he isn't here to tell the tale
of driving his girlfriend off the ridge
right over the rail...........

Very sad. This seems to happen all to often.
Several years ago this same thing happend to some friends of mine.
And a year later, again, only this time it was a car load of them and I was to be
one of them but I chose to ride in another car. Not because I felt I would be in danger, but the other car was faster and better looking. Now what does that tell ya'! As a kid I thought I knew it all, but after seeing what happened to six of my friends in one night, reality slapped me in the face, HARD!
Have fun but do it right!
OK, I'll stop rambling on.  
Thanks for sharing this JulieAnn.
Great eye opener for many I hope!

A very sensitive poem this, touched my heart, still shuddering when reading the last few lines....

Ah, the sadness, the perils of alcoholism and drugs, the road to hell....

Nicely written, JulieAnn,
Regards, sudhir



 My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out
I'm feeling kind-a-shaky, my mind is full of doubt
All I ever think about, is fearing fear itself,
Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf
Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight,
Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright
My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor
Sweep 'em up. Throw 'em away, don't want 'em anymore
Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night,
Still there are the questions, no answers in sight
Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight,
Starin' out the window, everything is just too bright
Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor,
Wish I could unscrew my head, and kick it out the door...
You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange
You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange

~ Strange ~ Joe Satriani (Flying in a Blue Dream)
