Poem
Imagine a lovely garden, tea for two, and this story. I wasn't always bitter like this, I've had my fair share of glory. In my youth I was an all-state football player with a lot of friends. But you know life was going too good, and we all know that ends. One time I was there, all the way on top. Then out of no where, it came to a complete stop. I had to deal with the loss of my brother, then shortly after, I lost my significant other. For four years, it was just the two of us. We were perfect, no fights and no reason to fuss. One night we went to the movies on a date. She told me to step on it, cause we were late. So as I sped down the street and over a hill. Just thinking about it now, gives me a chill. When I came over the crest, there was a car right there. He had a flat tire and was about to put on the spare. It was too late, there was nothing I could do. I slammed on the brakes, but we hit before I even knew. I still remember the fear and feeling the broken glass. I still remember the terrifying scream I heard last. I woke up at the hospital, I asked if anything happened to her at all. They said she's in a room down at the end of the hall. I needed to see her, they said not right now, but I was pleading. Then a nurse sat down and said I'm sorry, she has internal bleeding. I had to ask the nurse, because I didn't know what that meant. She said nothing can be done, so I stood up and to her room I went. I walked in and looked at her, I'll never forget what she said. “Everything will be alright, I love you,” and for the last time I kissed her forehead. That night I lost the person I was going to call my wife. That night, I lost the love of my life. I wish it was still us two. Baby everyday I still miss you. ***By Chris Matt for A Rambling Poets contest.*** 8-14-2011
