Dad's Demise

(This is a fictional poem) I remember the wonderful life I once had. But life lost most of its meaning when I lost my dad. I'm the one to blame for my dad's demise. The guilt and pain constantly bring tears to my eyes. I sent Dad to town and he hit a car head on. I'm in a great deal of pain because he's gone. He said he didn't feel up to driving that day. But I sent him to get me a video game anyway. He should've went the next day like he wanted. I can't forgive myself and for the rest of my life I'll be haunted. This happened twenty years ago when I was only fifteen. Since that day, a good night's sleep is something I haven't seen.
