Accidents Happen
by Bernadine Mary Noonan
It was the night
We went to the party
We were dancing
But you were on the couch
Sitting like a slouch
You had too many drinks
That's what I think
We leave to go home
At the time
You were nice to be known
I asked if I could have the keys
If I could drive
But you said no
I put up with it and thrived
You started to speed
You thought you were flying
You started to laugh
Then it happened
The transport truck passed
Lights were flashing
Things were bashing
You were dead
I kissed your head
I was ok
A few cuts and bruises
I was so sad
It was all my fault
If we had stayed
We would have been ok
Here my best friend lays
DEAD
You didn't get to say good-bye
So I started to cry
Then said good-bye
