*Drinking

One day everything is going well

The next your flat on your back

People standing all around you

All covered in dress that's black



You wonder what could have happened

To cause such a sudden stop

What did you do so wrong

That would cause you just to drop



Maybe it was the other day

When you cut off an old lady

Or that one time with your boss

When you were acting kind of shady



Or when you told your mom

She could just go to hell

Was that the day that your soul

From heaven high it fell?



So you lied to your dad

Told him you were some place other

Than where you really were

How would you face your mother?



And you cheated on your girlfriend

How you broke her innocent trust

When she walked in on you and her

And your girl left you in the dust



The pain in your ears

When she screamed from fear

And how you wanted to kiss

Every heartbroken tear



But she is gone, and so are you

Too bad she went up to the light

Forever to be happy with no more pain

And you ran away from the site



So now you must suffer

With eternnal pain and sorrow

If only you hadn't lied so much

And had learned to borrow



Cheating and lying don't get you far

Unless you mean to die alone

Never again to see the light of day

Too bad you couldn't use that phone



One last call could have saved your life

But you were too hurt to go that far

Your legs were broken and neck snapped

Now you know not to be drunk and drive a car

The theme of this poem is very powerful. i love the verse:

The pain in your ears
When she screamed from fear
And how you wanted to kiss
Every heartbroken tear

That is my favourite part in this great poem.
