Accidental Coma
I haven’t opened my eyes for days
I hear the sounds of machines beeping
I can feel you all near in so many ways
Checking in on me, your eyes peeping
But I’m somewhere deep in another realm
My brain kept alive by tubes and wires
Bits and pieces come back to overwhelm
I hear the sound of the screeching tires
I just had to finish one word in the text
I was distracted for only a brief minute
But oh how horrible what happened next
I hit an oncoming car killing everybody in it
The stuff running from my eyes is tears
I will live or die with what I have done
What recovery comes, will take years
Please take good care of my little son
I am so sorry, I want to tell you all so bad
Lost in this darkness, and barely alive
This message, if any purpose I had
Never ever never, text while you drive
