The Accident

by Nicole   Aug 9, 2005


On Friday the 13th,
The day in which I never believed,
I was in so much pain and stress,
From the bad news that I recieved.

They said my brother was hit by a milk truck,
But he would be okay.
My heart was beating so fast,
I didn't know what to say.

I was in such shock.
I couldn't even cry.
It never crossed my mind,
That today my brother could have died.

That whole day,
It gave me such a scare.
And the whole time he was in the hospital,
Was just so hard to bare.

The first time we saw each other since the accident,
The only thing I wanted do was cry.
But instead of me, my brother did.
When I walked through the door, you could see a tear in his eye.

That moment was so special to me.
I have never seen him cry before.
And seeing him do that,
Only made me want to cry even more.

I still have flashbacks of that horrible day,
And of that bad news I recieved.
Those crazy stories about Friday the 13th,
I now believe.

    My god. If there was ever a poem to make me cry- Nicole, that was it. Other people think " wow, what a sad story, Im glad he's alright"... but I know what lies beneath, what you think of everynight. We all still have to deal with the horrors, the demons, the bad dreams, and the flashbacks. I know what its like. I still live it everyday, and I know you do too. You are so much stronger now than you were before, and we have gotten so close because of his accident. I know that we are like sisters, and I hope things stay that way forever. Even though Trevor and I aren't together, remember what I said before...there's always another day. There's always another chance. No matter what happens between me and Trevor, YOU ARE MY SISTER, you are my BEST FRIEND. You mean so much to me, and just know that I am always here for you, through the rough times and the easy, the good and the bad. I just hope you always remember that. Awesome poem....Never stop writing. Just promise me you will always keep me close to your heart. I love you, Nic.
    Love always,
    Lyndsey
