Headlights in the Night

by Jenn   Mar 8, 2004


Just a normal night out with my friends
I only thought I would have one or two
I wish I could take back the choices I made
Something like this I wouldn't usually do

I didn't know I would drink that much
I couldn't believe my friends let me drive
On the way home I kept on dozing off
I knew that night somebody wouldn't survive

I turned the radio up to keep me awake
Not thinking it would only distract me
I didn't realize I was all over the road
The car I was speeding towards I couldn't see

I didn't remember a thing my whole body is numb
When I awoke and saw where I was I couldn't believe my sight
If only I could take it back and make it okay
But I cant and the last thing I saw were headlights in the night

    great poem jenn, like Timothy said above, a real jolt of reality there. It's like one of those Government adverts where you see the kids playing in the street but you know something's about to happen, in this case one runs into the road to get the ball and he gets hit by a driver who has had one too many. There's a great message there inside a well written poem, nice one (+thanks for ur comments), K
