the ultimate priority <3

living from one day to the next...
the sound of a single footstep...
living this life trying to make the most of it...
but there is nothing but distractions...
the street lights...
even have a piece of me...
they decide when I go...
when I stay, or when to move with caution...
rule after rule...
not really sure of who I should be...
is there a right way and a wrong way...
no one knows, no one even recognizes my face...
I move along trying to catch their attention...
but I don't even recognize my own reflection...
I have become transparent...
it's like I'm gone, all empty...
Not sure what happened...
can hardly remember...
I see cuts and bruises...
and my body is aching...
I have had headaches before...
but never like this one...
I was on my way somewhere...
It was a special day I was meeting someone...
I have my favorite dress on...
but it's cut and is covered in blood...
Take me back to the start...
I can't feel a single beat in my heart...
I am cold...
and all alone...
I remember this street...
I think this is where I was supposed to be...
I know this house...
I think this is where I was coming...
look in the window...
some lonely widow...
He was holding a picture...
she looks so familiar...
no, no, it can't be...
that's my husband...
I am gone...
my life ended on the way to him...
We just got married...
this last September...
I close my eyes, and feel it...
the headlights flashing...
They drove me off a cliff...
I didn't get to tell him I was pregnant...
My life seemed to have turned around...
everything was how I always dreamed of...
but now I am about to be buried six feet under...
and he plays it over and over in his head...
If only they had thought before they left...
if only they knew what would have happened...
now they are doing time in prison...
and I have to leave my husband...
alcohol can be a very deadly poison...
just remember what's important...
and that life is always the ultimate priority...<3
