"Why didn't you listen"

Folder: 
experiences

Some may have the gift or is it a

curse to know before you should.

Although you can resist, but at

times you can't dismiss.

I was sitting in the car when a

strong sensation came over me,

a voice inside my mind was telling

me to tell him not to ride the

motorcycle for if he did he will die.

Then inside my mind was an arguement

saying "I can't tell him this" but the

feeling was so ovrwhelming I knew that

I had to.

I told him to his face right beside him

I did sit and told him that for if he

does then this is what will happen.

He didn't seem surprised in fact he sat

there and agreed.

I made him promise me to never ride

that bike again.

A few days later I get a call that he is

at the hospital from a accident and that

we tryed to save him but he died from

eternal bleeding.

He broke the promise that he made

and rode that bike again.

I say he was at a fork in the road,

a destination he had made.

So no matter what you know you can't

change what's destine to be.

All I can say is why didn't you

listen to me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is true piece really did happen this way. He was my boyfriends step dad and like a dad to me. I feel he did have a choice and death is what he chose. My heart will always remember him .

Wow...I had a similar experience in grammar school. My best friend at the time called me really upset one day and I was afraid she was gonna say her dad died...I had a very strong preminition probably typo there it doesn't look right but I just had a gut feeling that her dad was gonna die soon and when she sounded so upset I thought that was the news, but the news was her dog was missing...I was kind of relieved but went all over the neighborhood trying to help find her dog...then exactly a week later she called and told me her dad died and I felt like, should I have told her I thought he was going to or had a strong feeling about that? I never told her and often wonder if I should have... I can really relate to this but ya, I agree if it is meant to be it will happen...we can't change fate...when it is our time, it will happen no matter what. I knew a lady at work that died suddenly and the crazy thing was, she always drove to work but her brakes were acting funny so she was afraid she was gonna get into an accident with her car so she left the car at home and took the el instead and then I read in the paper that something happened at the el station where somebody was trying to attack or mug her or something and she ended up on the el tracks and got hit by a train and died...so either way she was destined to die that day, ya know? If she had driven, probably she would have been in a fatal accident...you can't escape your death date...thanks for commenting on some of my poems..I am glad I checked this one out. It is really good and I really relate. Sorry this comment is so long but I wanted to share with you my feelings on this...I understand...Pam
