Death of an innocent

I went to a party, mom I remembered what you said you told me not to drink, mom so I drank soda instead. I felt really proud inside, mom the way you said I would I didn't drink and drive, mom even though the others said I should I know I did the right thing, mom I know your always right. now the party is finally ending, mom as everyone drives out of sight. as I got into my car, mom I knew I'd get home in one piece, because of the way you raised me, mom so responsible and sweet. I started to drive away, mom but as I pulled onto the road, the other car didn't see me, mom and it hit me like a load. as I lie here on the pavement, mom I her the policeman say, the other guy is drunk, mom, and now I'm the one who'll pay. I'm lying here dying, mom I wish you'd get here soon. how come this happened to me, mom? my life bursts like a balloon. there is blood all around me, mom, most of it is mine I hear the paramedic say, mom I'll die in a very short time. I just wanted to tell you, mom I swear I didn't drink. it was the others, mom, the others didn't think he didn't know where he was going, mom he was probably at the same party as I the only difference is, mom, he drank, and I will die. why do people drink, mom? I don't think that is fair; I'm lying here dying, mom while all he can do is stare. tell my brother not to cry, mom tell daddy to be brave, and when I go to heaven, mom write Daddy's Girl on my grave. someone should have told him, mom not to drink and drive. if only they would have taken time, mom I would still be alive. my breath is getting shorter, mom I'm becoming very scared. please don't cry for me, mom because when I needed you, you were always there. I have one last question, mom before I say good-bye, I didn't ever drink, mom so why am I to die? that is the end, mom I wish I could look you in the eye, to say these words, mom I love you and good-bye.
