He Doesn't Remember
By Lisa Peele

There she stands weeping
Running tears of sorrow
No more hugs and kisses good nite
There is no more tomorrow

Her heart is broken
Shattered pieces of pain
It happened late at night
In a storm riddled with rain

They never saw him coming
The drunk in his car
Twisted metal and broken glass
Caused by a man leaving a bar

His life was taken
By a person unknown
He doesn't remember
No scratches nor broken bone

He sits alive in his cell
Paying for his sins
She lost her son
But he still has his

Has justice been served
For this drunk in a car?
Will he drink and drive again
And leave another bar?
