*You always have a choice, he made the wrong one It may be a costly one For me* You will get a choice, choose wisely I thought it couldn’t happen to me Especially after I made the right one *Lights fade, screams turn into whispers Glass dives into my paling ivory skin Pavement absorbing the blood* A party, filled with people, Too many people      My vision is clear, not a drip slipped past my enclosed lips *Cups and cups of the poison fills his bloodstream Vision dotted, the light is blinding Head above the clouds, soaring through the sky* Not a drip passed through my lips Mom, I promise I listened, even though it seems may have seemed like I didn’t Every words was branded into my skin, burning to make sure I never forgot *He didn’t know that the head high above the clouds would come crashing down The car came out of nowhere, I didn’t see it coming It came out of nowhere* Now, lying on the grass I am now playing a game with Death and He is winning *The lights on his car, blinding, I couldn’t move, my hands stuck, glued to the steering wheel It happened too fast. my leg slamming on the brake, my head flying backwards while my body is flung forwards* *Darkness fiddles with my eyesight Numbness overtakes Pain easily Nothingness has never been so blissful* The times I got mad at you for searing the words into my skin further seems pointless now I am sorry You won’t be able to hear my apologies from the tops of the clouds *I am sorry I couldn’t fight for longer I hear the sweet song of sirens coming closer, closer, People rush to my side Words are mushed into one, filling my ears with the last sounds I will ever hear, My eyes fluttering open and close this whole time, have now finally shut The lights aren’t blinding anymore Numbness has torn through my body, leaving not an ounce of pain I am not suffering My breath is slowly becoming smaller and small* One breath I try to pry my eyes open, but nothing My hands are damp from the sweat the is glistening around my body Two breaths Mom I love you, you gave me so much that I would never come out of debt to you. Tell my sister, everything will be okay. Even though it may seem like I hate her, I don’t. I love you. Three breathes Tell my brother, I hope every dream of his comes true, and I will read him a story tonight in his dreams, then he can play with me once more. I love you. Four breaths Tell dad, that no matter I will be sitting by his side every Sunday to watch the matches that play. I love you. Five breaths *We will always have choices in this world. He made the wrong one as soon as the keys jingled as the engine roar with life,  and the gas sputter out of the exhaust, and the tires turned in endless circles 7 breathes He made the wrong one It was costly For me* *8 breathes Game over. Death won.*

Right, Wrong
*You always have a choice, he made the wrong one It may be a costly one For me* You will get a choice, choose wisely I thought it couldn’t happen to me Especially after I made the right one *Lights fade, screams turn into whispers Glass dives into my paling ivory skin Pavement absorbing the blood* A party, filled with people, Too many people      My vision is clear, not a drip slipped past my enclosed lips *Cups and cups of the poison fills his bloodstream Vision dotted, the light is blinding Head above the clouds, soaring through the sky* Not a drip passed through my lips Mom, I promise I listened, even though it seems may have seemed like I didn’t Every words was branded into my skin, burning to make sure I never forgot *He didn’t know that the head high above the clouds would come crashing down The car came out of nowhere, I didn’t see it coming It came out of nowhere* Now, lying on the grass I am now playing a game with Death and He is winning *The lights on his car, blinding, I couldn’t move, my hands stuck, glued to the steering wheel It happened too fast. my leg slamming on the brake, my head flying backwards while my body is flung forwards* *Darkness fiddles with my eyesight Numbness overtakes Pain easily Nothingness has never been so blissful* The times I got mad at you for searing the words into my skin further seems pointless now I am sorry You won’t be able to hear my apologies from the tops of the clouds *I am sorry I couldn’t fight for longer I hear the sweet song of sirens coming closer, closer, People rush to my side Words are mushed into one, filling my ears with the last sounds I will ever hear, My eyes fluttering open and close this whole time, have now finally shut The lights aren’t blinding anymore Numbness has torn through my body, leaving not an ounce of pain I am not suffering My breath is slowly becoming smaller and small* One breath I try to pry my eyes open, but nothing My hands are damp from the sweat the is glistening around my body Two breaths Mom I love you, you gave me so much that I would never come out of debt to you.

This is about a drunk driver.
