Thank You For Driving Drunk
I pretend to forget,
So I don't feel the pain.
Bottled emotion,
I don't want to claim.
Tears form,
At the mention of her name,
Life without her,
Just isn't the same.
You took from us,
A Daughter, a cousin, a friend.
Because of your stupidity,
Her life had to end.
I hear those words constantly,
Inside my head.
They still sound so foreign,
"Heather is dead"
And when the phone rings,
It fills me with dread,
It should have been you,
In the coffin instead.
