Bitterness and Other Things

You!  Yes, you who killed our son/brother, with your Honda Civic car.

Do you still have restless nights, thinking about how you mowed him down and then fled the country for a year?  Do you wake up suddenly believing him to be still here on earth?

Do you still get depressed, miserable and cry longing for it never to have happened?

Do you throw money at your misery trying to cheer yourself up, missing him, wanting to buy him a Christmas gift, a Birthday gift a gift for the hell of it?

Wonder what size shoes he would wear, would he have grown past five feet two inches?

Do you sweat and have panic attacks, suffer from remorse, pray for forgiveness?


Why, why did you never come and say you were sorry, for the pain and loss we still bear and shall do so for the rest of our days?

forget me not
