Why I broke

I got the call.

Early that morning

I heard her mothers voice

Screaming on the other side.

Her words tore through me

Just like a knife

That was the moment

When my world stood still

Full of fear and anger

It was an awful chill

I grabbed my keys and I

Flew to the scene

When I got there

There were so many flashing lights

Her mother screamed to me..

“They said she’s non responsive”

As I started to choke

my heart broke

I looked up from the crash …

And saw the drunk man.. smiling there

That was the moment

My world crashed down

Full of desperation and anger

My little girl… was gone.

My mind it shattered

Pieces laying on floor

A few months later

That man was let go..

He walked out of that prison..

Was aloud to go home..

He celebrated by going to

The bar…

He never saw me sitting there

When he got up to drive…his car

That was the moment

My world stood still

Full of rage, pure anger

I just lost control

I placed hot lead

Right between his eyes

I sought vengeance

For the way my little girl… died.

And every night when I sleep I go through hell

As I dream of the last time that saw both of them….still.
