The Crash

There has been an accident
And I don’t know what to do

The sirens are getting closer
And yet, I hear no voices

I was at my friends house
And had a couple beers

Until I got a phone call

I picked it up and answered
The other voice had said
"Where are you?"

I knew
That I was screwed

My little brother had practice that day
And I was supposed to pick him up

I got to the school safely
And decided everything was going to be okay

I didn’t see the other person
Then there was a flash
And in that flash
There was a crash

Three out of the four people had died that day
And I'm that number four

In the other vehicle
There was a dad and his daughter
Going home from the park
The little girl was only six years old

Most important though
Was my little brother

He had died that day
Did I tell you
He was only ten

The paramedic said
"He died quickly"
They always say that though

I knew it wasn't true
They just said that to help us get through

He is dead
And I'm alive

And I don't know what to do

Very emotional heartrending write. I would like to invite you to read my poem The White Snow. Maybe you might like it.

You have described a terrible tragedy. I lost a cousin in a similar situation. I know he was not drinking because he was an Alcoholics Anonymous lecturer. This is decently written poem with clear description. I'm sorry to hear this happened to you.

Hello Allison, Welcome to Poetry Soup, I think although this is so very sad, it is a reminder that we must all follow. Keep your writing flowing and I will be looking in on you. Well done As Always, Shar
