Texting and Driving Collide
Tragedy struck
Didn't see that truck
Was traveling way too fast
Didn't feel that blast
Crashed around the bin
Left a pile of tin
Used the jaws of life
Other driver wsn't coming home to his wife
Hope his family can forgive me
I lost control and couldn't see
Wrapped around a tree
He didn't see me
Never had a chance
Didn't make it to that dance
Happened within a blink
Wasn't any time to react or think
Crossed right over that center line
Blinding was that bright burning sunshine
There just wasn't enough time
Couldn't stop on a dime
Life was way to brief
Left behind so much heartache and grief
Wished I could have paused a moment before it all occured
I'd called to say I love you and your voice would be the last thing that I heard
Hope my family can forgive me
I should of slowed down so I could see
Wasn't wearing a seatbelt, another fact
Flew out the windshield on impact
Shouldn't have been texting while I'd drive
If I hadn't been so absorbed maybe we'd both still be alive
