Love Ending With Tragedy

Walking down road of life and we're talking. Sharing our stories- laughing and gawking. While expressing the troubles that made your day hard- A climax interrupted, The ending was scarred. A bridge built to pass, we thought it would last. Like spilling a glass, our moment was vast. When all of the sudden- The End of our date. A murderous halt- the car stopped too late. You sniffled your nose, a drunk driver dozed... Then BAM! - Our bodies were lifeless in clothes. It's noises of sirens we both left behind, And a drunk put in cuffs with jail on his mind. I loved you a lot, but held off to say... I wanted it perfect- the right time of day. Now I know there was no other way, But to confront this difficult, "I love you" cliche. Carpe diem, just live like you mean it. Seize the day, or die like you've seen it. Every breath allows you the chance, To rethink your life- ask her to dance. -Yours Truly

Unfortunately, this was based on a true story. Drunk drivers are the cause of thousands of deaths a year and its very tragic every single time. I just wanted to share the realism in it. -Yours Truly
