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.
