That Night In June (06-06-2009)

by Katherine Yager   Aug 12, 2011


Broken bones and shattered dreams...
Laying on the ground I can smell the blood praying they hear my screams.

The cold air hits me like a ton of bricks, The pain in my body unable to be fixed...
Lights flash and sirens wail...
Muffled voices my skins turning pale.

If this is death I can not tell, There is too much pain I must be in hell.
Twenty years come and gone, I wish I would of listened to my mom...

Drinking and driving ended my life, It shut all my doors and turned out my lights.
The room is dark and I tremble in fear...
All I know the end is near.

I loved my family I really did...
I didn't want to die I was only a kid...
I wanted a family and kids of my own, But now my dreams will never be known.

I am sorry it had to end this way, If I had a choice I would of chose to stay...
Now I'm gone and your still here and your crying and I can't wipe your tears.

I love you with all my heart but from this world I now have to part. Keep my memories alive and well... I guess this was just my story to tell...

- I was in a car accident on June 16th 2009 while coming home from a "party" I guess you could say. My ex was driving with me and a good friend of ours who had two small children. His blood alcohol level was 2.16 about an hour after we crashed. We all three could of died that night but for some reason we are all still here. I am no longer with that guy I got married and moved on to do better things with my life but the fact still remains that we all could of lost our lives that night and only three blocks from home. Please trust me when I say that waking up every morning with a big scar going down you stomach from twenty seven staples is one hell of a wake up call seeing as I was always one to read Chicken Noodle For The Teenage Soul and never think it was going to happen to me but it did... An almost cost me my life. If you read this please just take the time to think about all the people you would be leaving behind and all the lives you will effect with your choice and please make the smart choice... Don't follow my path.
