I should have stopped you

August 28, 2009
By Anonymous

I saw
Your face
Red blotches appearing
I saw
Your hands
Balling up
I saw
Your mouth
Move as you told me you hated me
I saw
Your hair
Swinging as you walked away
I saw
Your fading figure
I saw
That car
It was going to fast
I saw
You
Just you
On the ground
Blood was everywhere
I should have screamed
I should have said I was sorry
I should have cried and begged you
I should have stopped and made a fit
I should have told you I loved you
But now you're gone
Fading in the breeze
I should have stopped you
