Driving alone in the morning.
Her car went off the road.
Rolling down with no prayer on a wing.
The mind blanked in overload.
I almost lost one so dear to me.
All little things forgot.
After that it was so plain to see,
all the things to me she taught.
A feeling of lose when she wasn't really gone.
Just under the odds of bad situation.
No pro's to this, just one big con.
I was weighted down in water by a ton.
What was I to do or say?
Her hair was missing from surgery.
She couldn't even look at herself in dismay.
Actually with swollen eyes she could barely see me.
She broke her neck and arm and jaw.
She had a blood clot and couldn't walk.
They tried to get her for breaking the law!
She tried to, but she couldn't even talk.
Waiting for her seemed like years
As we sat in the waiting room.
As I saw her mom I burst into tears.
I tried to be strong but all I felt was doom.
I just wanted to see her face!
And now the doctors keeping us from her.
All I could do in that dark room was pace.
Felt like suffocating in mounds of fur.
The warmth of the fur was mine to touch.
But no warmth could be found in me.
I know my love for her couldn't amount to much
Against the love of her family.
She is back on her feet and back at school.
Her hair is back and her fake teeth are in.
I tell her i love her and she is cool.
To boost her confidence about the men.
She has no faith in the way she looks.
She is weak and tired and weary.
She hides her "hideous" face in books.
With the rumors her eyes get teary.
But at least she's here to share the day.
Her coffins empty for at least awhile.
She doesn't eternally lay.
And for her I would walk a mile.
To you my Ashley, I'll always be there.
Through thick and thin with moments to spare.
If I lost you my heart would tear.
Just to let you know, I do care.
