That Horrible Turn


It was a cold and bitter morning She had just woke up, It was icy and snow had just fallen; Things might be different now, if it wasn’t for that horrible turn. It happened so fast, it cannot be real It is all but a daze now, It doesn’t seem like she could be gone; Things might be different now, if it wasn’t for that horrible turn. One second she is fine and then next she is gone; My world in only a second had fallen apart When I saw her on her side, I about died; Things might be different now, if it wasn’t for that horrible turn. She was just lying there helplessly, I was supposed to protect her from this I felt like I had let her down; Things might be different now, if it wasn’t for that horrible turn. When I finally realized what was done I couldn’t stop thinking she was really gone, She was out of my life before her time; Things might be different now, if it wasn’t for that horrible turn. Now it has been a few months And she is only but a memory, But that does not stop me from thinking About her and how she left a mark on my heart; Things would be different, if it wasn’t for that horrible turn.

This is a poem about an accident I had my senior year. I am actually speaking about my car that I totaled and fortunately not a person that I lost.
