Be Careful What You say

Joel was sitting in class one day
When she walked through the door
The sight of her made Joel's heart
Crash down to the floor
He learned her name was Autumn
And that she was free
Joel began to think
"I wonder if she'll go out with me?"
So Joel asked her out the next day
And Autumn gladly said yes
He picked her up that night
And their date was the best
They finally started going steady
And had been for almost a year
But then came that horrifying incident
The one that only a couple can fear
They got into a fight
Over one little thing
But neither of them knew
This much trouble it would bring
"I don't want to see you anymore!"
Joel screamed in Autumn's face
"Don't ever talk to me again!"
Autumn felt so out of place
"But, Joel, I'm sorry," Autumn whispered
As she tried to look into his eye
"Just get the hell away from me!" he screamed
"I wish you would die!"
Autumn felt the tears
Streaming down her face
Her head began to pound
Her heart began to race
"I hate you!" Autumn yelled
As she ran out the door
She would never look at Joel again
Or love him anymore
Joel stood in the doorway
Recalling what he said
"I can't believe," he thought
"That I wished she was dead."
He raced up to his room
And picked up his phone
He called her house right away
But she wasn't home
Joel wondered where she was
Autumn lived just down the street
He knew that he was wrong
He was just overcome by heat
Joel got up and raced outside
To go search for his girl
But when he was halfway down the street
His mind became a whirl
For Autumn was lying in the street
Blood forming all around
Joel screamed in horror
And dropped to his knees on the ground
She had been hit by a car
Running across the street
And now she was dying
As if claiming defeat
"Oh, Autumn," Joel whispered
His heart breaking in two
"I didn't mean what I said"
"I still love you."
Autumn looked up at Joel
Her eyes filled with fear
And down her pale cheek
Trickled one single tear
"I love you, too," she whispered
Holding him tight
Joel held in his screams
With all his might
He gently kissed her lips
And prayed silently
"Please, God," he whispered
"Don't take her away from me."
But Autumn's life was stopping
And her heart began to slow
"NO!" Joel screamed in agony
"She's not suppose to go!"
Autumn died in Joel's arms
And he knew that she was gone
"If only I had admitted sooner"
"That I was really wrong"
"I loved her with all my heart"
"I didn't want her to die."
Joel put his head in his hands
And began to cry
You never know what can happen
When you get mad and make a scene
So make sure that person knows
What you say, isn't always what you mean
So be careful what you say
Even if what you say isn't true
Because just a few words
Can take someone away from you.
