the lights glare in my eyes

a window to another world

the screams and shouts i cry

could not change the verdict

.

the car window bursts in glass

as i replay it in my mind

shaking violently at the thought of the past

.

the blood that sept through the cold hard leather

as the blaring red lights came into view

lightheaded soft like a newly shedded feather

straps to contain me

.

realization hits my heart

as they pull the covers over your face

it was much to soon to have to part

but i keppt my emotions at bay

.

three days later im away from the doctors

but you'll be there forever

confused, like a innocent daughter

.

it's been six years

and i still don't know what to say

i go to your grave every day

and put flowers by your stone

.

why didn't it happen to me?

it was my fault somehow

like a wrong turn of destiny

it should have me under the ground

.

confused, i don't know where to turn

trying to escape, find a lesson to learn

it's taken six years dear

and my eyes have finally stopped brimming with tears

.

i understand.

it was all part of your plan.
