Life Ticks Away

Life Ticks Away

I sit here and wait
As my life passes by
Seconds to minutes
Minutes to hours
Hours to days
Days to weeks
Weeks to months
Months to years
Each second I'm older
The years passing by
The clock ticks life away
How can this be?
I went to a party
There was alcohol there
I was the driver
For my friends that were there
It felt like forever
Till we got in the car
I drove down the road
Then a BANG, It was gone
We're in the car
I'm fading fast
I barely hear people
What's going on?
I remember bright lights
Just as fast it went blank
I say to myself
"Was it luck, was it fate"
We're taken away
In a blink, in a flash
I was knocked out
And then after that
I woke in a bed
That wasn't my own
My friends were all there
They looked at me
What's going on?
Sadly they told me
They stood with a frown
Your gonna die
I screamed, "Oh My God!"
Only seconds to live
I wrote out my will
I told my dear friends
To come closer to me
To tell everyone
What happened to me
On that dark night
In the alley street
I wasn't drinking
My friends had a few
Then out of the blue
Sped a car, Who knew.
They we're all drinking
They get a new chance
But why I lie here
With only seconds to last
The nurses all gathered
They covered my face
I faintly heard, "I'm sorry, she's dead"
I watch from the Heavens
I look down on the Earth
They're all at my funeral
I stand transparent in the crowd
So lost and afraid
I watch them say prayers
I'm in a box
They lowered my down
The next thing I know
I'm now part of the Earth
I went back to Heaven
With tears in my eyes
I asked, God, Why I had to die
Years and years gone
When my friends finally passed
I brought up my thought
For My second chance
So right there I stood
I asked them again
"Why did I have to die?"
Right there they told me
It wasn't my fault
It was the other driver
Who was drunk, very drunk
They still didn't answer
So I asked them again
They only said this;
"You weren't the one drinking"
"You froze and caused pain"
My friends were all drunk
There's someone to blame
Back down on Earth
There in the car
That's why I left them
With no reason at all
So if that's the real reason
I left them and died
Then promise me this;
"You wont be another
To Drink and Drive."
