Why Me?

by edy   Mar 15, 2006


I gently feel my face
As I lay to rest in this bed
I hear water dripping in a bag
I fear to even turn my head

My face wrapped with gauze
Mostly over my eyes
They say I had it for years
Glaucoma wasnt a surprise

The sight of happiness forgotten
The sight of beauty not seen
I only pray to the man upstairs
Asking \"Why did it have to be me?\"

Finally the day came
I was finally allowed to leave
My girl unwrapping my face
Whispering how much she loves me

\"Baby it\'s ok\"
Everything will be alright
I cant see her tear\'s falling
But I can feel her fright

I tell her to touch my face
My eyes wide shut
I pull her face closer
\"Baby I love you to very very much\"

She looks through my eyes
The windows to my soul
I tell her they arent shut
Please dont ever let me go

So she walks me to the car
This time she drives
She opens my door
Like I always did for her
A Tear escaped my eye

She puts it in reverse
Were finally on our way
The moments forthcoming
They\'re so hard to explain?

A boom all I heard
Glass shattering everywhere
Sriens in the far
God Please dont you dare

\"Baby you ok\"
Jenni are you there?
Baby please answer
I can only feel everywhere

Then a sudden yank
Im pulled from the car
\"Boy walk to the sidwalk\"
Sir, Im blind is it far?

He esorts me away
I hear CPR in the distance
I feel alone all of a sudden
I ask myself what is this?

Jenni you ok?
I stand up and scream
Nobody answers
They\'re ignoring me

Time passes me by
I hear the sirens again
I know they\'ve taken Jenni
God please not again

Im put in a car
Hey who i this
Son Im a police officer
It\'s ok you\'ll make it through this

But Sir, what happened
Can you explain?
You were hit pretty bad
Your lucky your ok

We arive to the hospital
I sit alone
I feel people staring
\"Son Jenni wont be going home\"

The car was hit on her side
The seatbelt broke
She was ejected from the car
Thrown to the open road

I stood up and screamed
How could this be
First, I go Blind
Than you take my love from me

Please to mee its a dream
And everything will be ok
\"Son she gone forever, theres nothing else to say\"
