Today was the funeral,
I didn't show.
It's my fault she's dead,
and of that everyone should know.
I was the one who was drinking,
who wouldn't give up the keys.
She tried to talk me out of it,
she begged me "pretty please."
If only I wasn't so stupid,
she might be here today.
If only I wasn't so stupid,
I would still have my best friend with me on our way.
We were going places in life.
Colleges we were planning,
but i ruined that and all, I caused was strife,
I killed my best friend,
because I just had to drink and drive.
She didn't drink at all that night,
she was the planned designated driver,
but I just wouldn't give up the keys.
I didn't think that I was going to fast
when I took the first turn i thought i was going to slow.
so I sped up a little bit and gave it some gas.
On the last turn on the way to her house.
I cornered to sharp,
she was wearing her seat belt, but that wasn't enough.
The impact of the car I hit, smashed the car like a tin can,
it didn't get my side, but trapped my friend within.
Flashing lights, showed up
she was pronounced dead at the scene.
if only I wasn't driving that night
is all I can think now, it all just seems like a bad dream.
but it isn't and I know that.
My best friend is dead.
And her family must suffer,
I along with them, but they no longer look at me as a daughter.
I wish I could turn back time,
and give her the keys,
if only she had asked one more time
if only i hadn't drank that night,
she might be here for graduation,
she might be here for her life,
the life that I took.
*this is not something that actually happened to me thank gosh, but I do know of it happening to a few people I know*
