I waited for you yesterday
I forgot that you were gone
I was feeling down again
Needed you to make me strong
You always were so perfect
Too perfect to be here
But I can't help but miss you
Wish you were near
I can picture you up there
Still trying to touch a star
Smiling as you tiptoe
Stretching up as far
As you could go
I hope you know you're missed
I still cry myself to sleep
So sad, so scared, so pissed
I called your mom yesterday
You were all she ever had
She spends her nights with photo albums
In the daytime she's MADD
We put a cross on the road
To help to ease our pain
We went to his hearing
Hoping he would hang
I'm not even sure why
It couldn't bring you back
His seventh DUI
hopefully his last
I guess this is goodbye
Whether I'm ready or not
I'll never forget your laugh
Somehow it's all I've got
To keep me from hatred
God why'd you take him from me?
He went and killed an angel
But I guess you're where you should be
A person dies every 8 minutes
Another life stolen by last call
Just another damn statistic
Another coffin to haul
Only sometimes I forgot
That it's you inside
Laying stiff and cold
Just because you took a ride
Wrong place, wrong time
How I wish that I could kiss you
Every 8 minutes I cry
Every 8 minutes I miss you

This was so sad. I'm literally in tears right now. Im adding you to my favorites.

Such a heartfelt write - feel the anger and the pain at losing someon to a drunk driver who really is still unremorseful about it all. Wrong place, wrong time - things like that happen often in this day and age - so fast paced society. Easy to read and understand the sentiments you have expressed so well in these lines. Happy New Year.

First, let me thank you for entering my contest.
Second, i am sorry for your strife.
Third:
This poem was very touching. The flow and imagery was very well done. The format was creative, and the idea was original. I suggest the use of more puncuation for a professional look and easier reading.
Otherwise, this was good. -
well I live this as a true story. My dad died in a drunk driving accident years ago and the guy never even spent a second in jail. I was only 8 years old and my life has never been the same.
