Author's Notes/Comments: 

I asked a bunch of my friends to read it.
Most of them said it was about suicide.
My friend Bekah looked at me and said. "Two lovers were fighing in the car and just as it was being resolved and they were kissing a car came and hit them head on, all three died. It is a tragic love story."

So this time when I asked people to read it I asked them what they thought was/had been happening.
Once again most everyone said suicide.

What does it say for you?

Looking at the author's note,

Looking at the author's note, i can see that interpretation, but it certainly not the only one. While I'm sure you had a vision of the poem in mind when writing it, by leaving the context so open and ambiguous, each reader is invited to bring their own story to the poem. Well done.
