Why Him?

By: Crystal Nielsen

He said, "lets party," I said, "stay home."
He kept pursuing so I went along.
We went in together even though I would have rather
stayed outside in the cold weather.

He said it would be fun but
I knew we shouldn't have come.
Everyone seemed to be having a good time,
a glass of beer was only a dime.

He said he'd have only one,
just to have a little fun.
Well, one turned into a lot more,
I headed for the door.

I had no choice but to leave with him,
I knew I would regret this,
but I leaned over and gave him a kiss.
He started the car and we were on our way and
never figured it would be his last day.

The car swerved and hit a tree.
I looked over at him and he looked back at me.
There was blood everywhere,
and the only thing I could do was to stare,

And wonder, "how long do we have
to be in this car full of hatred and love
that gave us a violent shove?"

He leaned over and kissed me, his lips were cold.
The last thing he said was "I love thee, my lady love,
and in time when you're old
I will be waiting in the sun
and my heart will no longer be cold".
