the only five-year-old kid

car accidents kill dreams

it was almost midnight
but
the only five-year old kid
bored
can not still go to bed
slept
mom after all day working hard
late
dad at work more than every night
opened
the door at last
fast
to the dad ran the kid
beg
him for just a wake around
tired
dad forgot all stress and tiredness he faced
all day around
dressed
the kid in part of a second
held
with his small hand his dad's hand
went
together through the door out
street
at this time empty of the crowd
felt
the kid doesn’t want
earth to touch his feet
started
to run left and right
buttttttttttttttttt
another thing doesn’t want
earth to touch it
a car coming so fast
you cant decide if it
was a car or a rocket
the crazy car driver hit
shot
the only five-year old kid
made him fly from street to pavement
the kid
really wanted to fly, but never like that!
The crazy car driver was so coward
He didn’t even try to know what he left behind..
The dad, looking at his only son's blood
Covering the asphalt onto pavement
Still cant be aware of what happened
Guilty he felt
Because he just left
His only five-year old kid
For just a second
Since this, dad never slept
For just one night
The sleeping mom, hearing shout coming from outside
With mother feeling of a child, she felt
Something wrong has happened
to her
Only five year old kid
Undressed, outside she rushed
Then hoped
She would have died
Before she sees that happened

to her only five-year-old kid
With her shaking uncontrolled fingers, she touched his blood
And to her face she lift it
With her nails she started to cut
Her cheeks until out ran her blood
So her only five year old kid's blood
Mixed

with her own blood
But has she yet realized, what has happened?
The only five year old kid, will never be six years old!
His room will no longer be inhabited
His toys will no longer be touched
Every morning, she has never cared
For the sun to shine, since his smile shined
She never cared if she was sad, since happiness is what he felt
She never cared to live..since he lived
She tried suicide but
What need for it
Since she is, already dead!
But
Has the crazy car driver ever felt,
What behind him he has left??

if you feel sad for any reason, think of a parent lost a kid, your sadness is nothing compared to it. this story partily related to me.

This is more than sad... There is a devastation of reality... your imagery portrays a world falling apart. The parents lost their only child... to lose any child is inconceivable. Tears are in my heart right now as I write this review. I have not experienced this (and pray that I never will), but I can surely feel the pain that you have etched in my mind, heart, and soul... this touches me to the core on a personal level. EXCELLENT write... Emotionally Potent!

I've never seen this format before. Nice write :)

a very sad poem, which as you say, reminds us to think of those parents who go through such tragedy. penned well.

[Mockingbird]

no one should endure this tragedy. i couldn't empathize so i can't even begin to know what a parent would feel like to lose their only child in such an atrocious way. the driver will get what is coming to him. one can't even give comfort to the parents, can't tell them that their child lived in joy and his parents' love. there can be nothing anyone could say to alleviate any of their pain. i'm sorry.

Its very true and too much real and too much cruel for me...better to be a story of horror...but your way of writing it is really good! for me {just} poetry is trying to escape a little from this so called reality...
