Love Poems
A Daughter's Final Words

 

I Went to a party Mom
I remember what you said
You told me not to drink Mom
So I drank soda instead.

I felt really proud inside, Mom
The way you said I would
I didn't drink and drive Mom
Even though the others said I should.

I know I did the right thing Mom
I know you're always right
Now, the party's finally ending Mom
Everyone drives out of sight.

As I got into my car Mom
I knew I'd get home in one piece
Because of the way you raised me Mom
So responsible and so sweet.

I started to drive away Mom
But as I pulled onto the road
The other car didn't see me Mom
And it hit me like a load.

As I lie here on the pavement Mom
I hear the policemen say
The other guy is drunk Mom
And now I'm the one who'll pay.

I'm lying here dying Mom
I wish you could get here soon
How come this happened to me Mom
My life burst like a balloon.

There's blood all around me Mom
Most of it is mine
I hear the paramedics say Mom
I'll be dead in a short time.

I just wanted to tell you Mom
I swear I didn't drink
It was the others Mom
The others didn't think.

He didn't know where he was going Mom
He was probably at the same party as I
The only difference is, Mom
He drank and I will die.

Why do people drink Mom
It can ruin your whole life
I'm feeling sharp pains now Mom
Pains just like a knife

The guy who hit me is walking Mom
I don't think its fair
I'm lying here dying Mom
While all he can do is stare.

Tell my brother not to cry Mom
Tell daddy to be brave
And when I get to heaven Mom
Write "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.

Somebody should have told him Mom
Not to drink and drive
If only they had taken the time Mom
I would still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter Mom
I'm becoming very scared
Please don't cry for me Mom
Cause when I needed you, you were always there.

I have one last question Mom
Before I say goodbye
I didn't ever drink Mom
So why am I to die?

This is the end Mom
I wish I could look you in the eye
To say these final words Mom
I Love You...Goodbye.
