Too Drunk To Drive

Rain soaks me as i watch them walk away, heads hung, tears flowing. They can't change my fate anymore than i can move. I try to cry out and tell them it wasn't my fault, i swear i didn't do anything wrong. But i can't and i will never get the chance. I never saw it coming, now these eyes will never see again. The second the cars collided is the second my life ended. The minute i saw the car swerving, driving way too fast, was the last minute i spent on this earth. The hour that boy started drinking, the countdown on my life began. I know he didn't intend to kill me or hurt my family as he did. He didn't know those beers, the answer to his problems, would be the end of my life. He didn't think he was too drunk to drive.
