Drink and Drive

by Love Fallacy   May 27, 2010


Finally getting ready,
this week has been a bore.
My friends and I just left,
off to the liquor store.

My parents say be careful,
call if you need a ride.
We love you oh so much,
Please don't drink and drive.

Arriving at the party,
I begin to drink.
I take 3 or 4 shots,
before I even blink.

My friends and I are wasted,
we want to party more.
So we get into my car,
not knowing whats in store.

The musics playing real loud,
we're yelling in the car.
If i new what would happen,
I'd left my keys in the jar.

Flying down the open road,
that sign I didn't see.
Lying on the concrete now,
my friends blood around me.

The stop sign that I blew,
lead me into a car.
I think of what my parents said,
and wish upon a star.

I try to move my head,
paramedic tells me no.
He says I'm going to make it,
and that its time to go.

To the hospital I'm rushed,
who's here to my surprise.
My mom and dad are waiting,
only tears in their eyes.

I fly by on the stretcher,
my mom grabs my hand.
Why'd you have to do this,
why couldn't you understand.

The pain is growing worse,
the doctor grabs a knife.
Cuts a hole in my chest,
only way to save my life.

The next morning I wake up,
my parents by my side.
I feel like a coward,
and only want to hide.

I ask them how's my friends,
I really need to see them.
They look me in the eyes,
and say that their in heaven.

I don't know what to do,
I decide to scream out loud.
I've murdered my best friends,
now their liven in the clouds.

I want to laugh with my friends,
i wish they were alive.
Why couldn't I listen,
She said not to drink and drive.

    Wow... this is a heart-tugging piece. It truly is. It's tragic, sad... I love the rhyming you have and how you added that parental view on the issue.
    I could have lost my sister earlier this year, she was drinking and driving, speeding as well. She flipped her car, there were passengers inside. She barely missed a pole by one foot. Had she hit it, she would have died. This poem made me tear up a little... so tragic, but beautifully written and presses a very important issue.
