LIZZIE

The day you left,
Is the day I cried.
I died along side of you that night
I smelled the alcohol,
I felt the impact,
I heard the screams,
I was there the night you were freed

The night air was cold and damp
The roads were slick
You were riding back from vacation
The mood was filled with laughter
The whole family was at peace

How can happiness be ruined by one headlight
One laugh be shattered into a fearful panic

He charged head on as if in rage
Began to swerve uncontrollably

Not noticing the alcohol ridden man
you are still laughing
still bringing smiles one last time to this earth

Crash
Impact hit
Metal Bent
Windows shattered
Hearts stopped
3 lives quit
I get a phone call that night
My life quit
I sank into the depths of my soul
I began to drown
SO many nights I have replayed the accident in my head
Wishing I could bring you back
Wishing I could have been the one to save you

You are gone
Only mother to remain
I bet she is getting ready to quit
3 out of 4 died
Sister, father and you
3 wooden crosses lay on the right side of the highway
3 souls left to rise from the ashes and fly to heaven

So many souls left on this ground
To mourn your death
I shall not mourn your death no longer
For I shall celebrate your life
The memories never to leave my heart
The love we shared never to fade
Only to grow stronger
Knowing I will see you and embrace you soon

I visited your grave site today
Tears pouring down my cheeks
I am talking to you as if you are alive
Only to hear the echo of silence talking back
You are gone
I am here
We are apart yet so close
How can I see you and feel the friendship we once shared
If you will not return my prayers
You are gone
But never to be forgotten
Never to be scorned for the life you lead
Never to be unloved
We are still together
We are still best friends until the end
The end has come to you
But to me the end is just beginning
Lets make it another great mystery to be solved
For old times sake

Dedicated to the loving memory of Lizzie Silverman and her sister, and father.
Gone but most certainly not to be forgotten
Loved to the highest point everyday
