JUST BY YOU

                                                                          JUST BY YOU

A feeling of emptiness

A dying body lying helpless

Looks like my frame

Poor bewildered me

Dad kept sobbing, pacing and panting

         As I kept following and asking

Why is everyone saying “so long”?

I feel perfectly fine

Stop crying dad

Just look by your left, I am just by you

Where are they taking my form to?

    Why are you entering the emergency unit dad?

           What is Sophie, Anna and Kyra  doing here?

Why are pipes connected to their mouths?

Stop telling them I am dead

Can you not see or hear me?

I am just right in front of you, wearing the dress you bought me on my last birthday

     Am I truly dead?

Now I remember, I remember how we got here

I am so sorry dad

The fault was all mine

I drove them all to the emergency unit

It was after we shared the drink in the bottles

We just wanted to have fun

For our social lives were neglected

I thought I felt sober after the drink,

I controlled the wheels perfectly

Just like you thought me, dad

but the music only grew louder 

The seat belts were just too far from us

I meant to take us home

But the car suddenly developed wings

It was the drink, then the car, now we are here

Hopes dashed and expectations crushed

              I want to apologize and make you all know how miserable I am

            Being mindful that I cannot be heard nor seen    

  For I have become a ghost
