Accidents Do Happen --Second Half--

Seconds passed through the Time that I would Lay there. .
Cold from the frozen Glass, pressed against my cheek. .
The Sensation of Blood. .
Fallen Down the Searing Wound from my Temple. .
To the Tip of my cheek Bone.
I Lifted myself to the Extent in which my Strength would Endure. .
Only to see the Blood of my Father. .
As it Flowed like a River around His Body. .Darkening the Snow.
An Image of my Grandmother. .
Nearly Hidden within the Debris,
I Searched for Her, although I Failed to recognize Her Face. .
For I could not Feel Her Light.
My Heart had begun to Grow Silent,
As I watched my Mother Perish,
With every last Breath Growing Fainter.
Within those Moments, the Tears Building up Inside 
Had Found Reason to Escape. .
I was a Lost Girl,
With  no Ties to Identify my Presence. .
I was now a Mystery to those Outside of my Abandoned World.
The Tears began to Blur my Vision,
So I would Wipe them away. .
Finding a way out through my Father’s Broken Window.
I Stopped in my Tracks as I sat Down onto the Snow. .
Staring off Beyond the Lonely Road ahead.
Little Time went by before my Conscious Awoke 
To the Sounds of another Car Fleeting by,
Gradually slowing to a stop. .
The Moment they saw the Small Girl. .
Sitting alongside the Accident.
Acting as though they would Only Wish to Summon Help to Her. .
But Far Behind their Masks. .
Lies a Truth that they will Always Fail to Understand. .
Being that it was Her Mother. .Who Genuinely Cared enough for Her,
Within that Last Embrace. .
To be the Savior of Her Life that Day.

    Smile ~ And yet if not then, of course, my heart would have to bleed for "Your Precious Beauty!!!" ~ "Your Lovely Spirit" reminds myself of Patricia Adams whom was once "A Very Gifted & Beautiful Poetess Herself" here at the Soup my dear; perhaps "Your Splendours" might remember her? ~ Anyway, aside from this and that; once more, "Your Brightness" portrays the gift of profound upon the parchments pages; "A Fave &, 'Beautiful In The Sombersweet!!!'" ~ ....Cont:)

    Smile!? ~ I read this stirringly profound verse twice my dear and found a slight mist amid its depthfulness' reflections within my own minds eye for, I have seen and do find far too much sorrow within this world for countless lives and, it is Always even more regretful when it happens to be one which, You care much more deeply for as I myself do for "Your Treasures" but, I also am hoping that this is merely fictions bluebrightened colours of poetics creation my dear ~ ....Cont:)

    oh wow,, how very sad-- I sure do hope that this isn't based on reality, Lynette-- you have this gift for words that O sometimes have a hard time knowing whether it is real or not-- now I am curious-- what do you mean it is a part of "Because You Were All I Had. ." & "Ecstasy"? If it's a novel, I hope it gets published one day! -- hugs again -- nikko :)
