Crash

Crash! Smash!

Spinning around

Whack! Crack!

A terrible sound

Screeching brakes

Scratching of metal

A four car pile up

The wreckage has settled

Muffled sounds

And distorted voices

So much commotion

From stupid choices

People running over

I can’t hear a thing

I look to the driver

She’s not moving

Why didn’t I drive?

She said she was fine

I knew she was tired

“Look, I’m driving, don’t whine!”

It wasn’t just our fault

The surface was wet

We saw a car skid

Destiny was set

We were destined to collide

Death was there at the scene

He was rubbing his hands

At this poor dead late-teen

She lay there so still

It was clear she was dead

Lying back-bent, so awkward

Blood stained hair down her head

I was taken to hospital

In the early hours of day

Lights were fading

Fading to grey

Parents at my side

I’m staring at them weep

My eyes closing slowly

I’m falling to sleep…
