I should have stopped him
But I didn't.
I should have stopped the
Horrible flashing images,
The vivid scenarios of
The car crashing
Over and over and over
Till your body gets so
Scrunched up that
It's no longer recognisable.
But I didn't.
I should have stopped him from
Repeating those words that
Constantly haunt you in your head:
The car... the bend... it's coming...
Those words that send
Fear running down your spine and
Up your throat, they
Slowly creep out and
Stop your breathing.
Stop the beating.
But I didn't.
I should have stopped him
From getting to you tonight,
Maybe I should've stayed behind and
He could've come out again.
And maybe, I wouldn't have
Let you out that night either.
I'm so sorry that
All I do is hurt you.
Time and time again,
I should have stopped him.
But I didn't.
