A Story of a Loving Family

This is a story,
In all its glory,
Of a love - so true and divine.
One girl and one guy;
Love was in the sky
For those two - so young and so fine.
The guy's name was Tim,
And the girl loved him,
As much as a true love can be.
The girl's name was Claire,
And Tim loved her hair,
And all the rest of her beauty.
The two were close friends;
A love without ends,
Was all that they could ever have.
The two spent their days
In their love-struck ways,
And were never lonely or sad.
The two had a kid
Whom they would name Sid,
And Sid brought them such a smile.
The couple lived strong,
As time moved along,
As so happens once in a while.
Tim got a good job,
And bought a green Saab,
And felt he could live forever.
But innocent Claire,
With her lovely hair,
Was just happy they were together.
But such a story
(In all its glory)
Must have some sort of sad sorrow.
As Tim slept that night,
He was such a sight,
Not knowing what lurked tomorrow.
Tomorrow did come
With the rising sun,
And Claire drove away like before.
Guess what happened next?
'Cause Claire never guessed
That a truck was behind that store.
The truck then pulled out,
And with a loud shout,
Claire felt her car fold up in two.
As Tim left his job,
Driving his green Saab,
He got the horrorfying news.
Tim felt his hot breath
Explode from his chest,
As he screamed to the twilight's stars.
Poor Tim and his luck;
It really did suck...
Because Sid had been in Claire's car.
Now, in just a day,
All, just wiped away,
In the blink of a tired eye.
As Tim arrived home,
To his bed, alone,
He continued to scream and cry.
And all of the years
Did not dry the tears
That he always felt deep inside.
Although he seemed well,
He lived in a hell,
Until he turned to suicide.
And now, all three lay
In deep, hollow graves.
They will rest this way forever.
But do not feel sad,
'Cause it's not so bad;
At least they are still together...
