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.
