My Fault

Once a week I take a long walk from my home. 
To the land of the dead and lay flowers on top of your stone. 
For hours and hours I stay and I pray. 
Telling you I miss you and ill see you again someday. 
As I wipe these tears from my eyes I cant help but hate myself for being the reason you died. 
You were my everything you were my world. 
The love of my life, my baby girl. 
I didn't see it coming it happened so fast one second were driving and all of a sudden crash.
 Before we departed you looked at me and laughed. 
You said good buy that you loved me then you started to gasp.
 When the police finally got there I knew I was done. 
Just another sad story of a teen who was drunk.
 The thoughts of that night are forever in my head. 
Making me wish that I too was dead.
 So the point here that I am trying to make.
 when you drink and drive its not always just your life you can take.
