It was dark,
Rain fell.

A night of happiness,
Both drink and drug-induced.

We sped on,
Unaware of what lied ahead.

A fallen tree branch
In front of us,
Blocking our way.

Blinded by headlights,
We swerved.

Immense pain,
Pain beyond all that could be known.

Hopes and dreams dashed
In a moment of recklessness.

In mere seconds,
A life, no,
More than just one life
Taken away.

Our familes live without us now,
All because of one careless decision. [comments] => 3 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 13 [informant] => olivetreedove [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
