Drunk Driving
January 30, 2010
My vision is blurred.
My words are slurred.
M heart has stop beating.
The world has stop moving.
This can't be happening.
I hold her in my arms
Her body is mangled and crumpled in my hands.
It happened so fast.
A little girl just skipping by...
Why didn't she run?
" I am sorry." I mumble through tears.
" Please forgive me."
"It was one moment if I could take it back I would. - I am sorry."
I look at her. She was so young. Her eyes had such a viberant blue to them. Her hair blonde, with treaks of red runing through them.I wonder what she could of become if it wasn't for me. If I had just said no to that one drink. If I had just not of gotten behind the wheel.

This is great work.
One thing you might want to do is break up the last bit via the enter key to make it match the flow of the rest of the poem.
Keep it up c:

This is a great poem to remind people not to drink and drive, and it truly sends a powerful message of guilt from a drunk driver's point of view. It's almost as if they a REALLY speaking to me. I adore this poem, and think it was a great choice of topic to write on. If you get the time, check out my opinion essay on animal rights/vegetarianism

This is so powerful. It touches my heart in a way that hurts, but its a hurt that reminds me not to drink and drive. This is beautiful... I think my favorite line is "why didn't she run".

This is amazing! It made me want to cry :( Is this a true story did this really happen to you? If so I am terribly sorry.... But this really was amazing one of the best I have read I think
This is a very good poem at the bass. You should probably just read over it and fix some of the grammatical and spelling mistakes. Also, when you say, "... what she could of been," it should be, "... what she could have been." Besides these few minor errors, the it was an excellent poem with great emotion.
