Were you,
were you filled with remorse,
were you numb,
were you crying,
did it shock you to the core,
did it shock you to the core,
to see someone dying before your eyes,
when you caused the death of someone,
the death of someone in a car crash,
through careless driving,
the cause of a mother and fathers,
and sisters and brothers’ sighs,
millions of sighs,
millions of tears in the eyes afterwards and forevermore,
millions of sighs that should have never been,
millions of tears that should never have been,
and in that split second,
when you realised that you had killed someone,
did your heart sink like a stone,
did you think anything at all,
did you realise the gravity of what you had done?
Did you feel like a killer instantly,
or did it take a while to sink in,
or do you still believe it was an accident,
and do you tell yourself that it was nobody's fault,
when you were called the guilty one?
And do you cry at all,
do you cry over the death that you caused?
Do you feel shame and remorse,
at what you have done?
Does it haunt you day and night,
from the rising of the sun,
to the night filled,
with the stars in the heavens,
for up there in the heavens,
maybe each one,
maybe each one is a star,
each star is a person gone to heaven,
and do you wonder,
about the person’s life that you took away,
do you wonder,
about what they would have become?
Do you wonder,
what they would have become,
had they lived?
And do you feel dumb,
do you feel numb,
angry at yourself,
and do you feel sad at the life taken,
do you think of them at all,
do you think of them in the morning,
and at night,
and do you suffer at all?
And have you sent your condolences,
to the family for this tragedy?
And did you ask for forgiveness?
And are you haunted by it all,
are you still haunted by it all?
