Night on the Horizon

What am I coming to?

This life has changed

No longer is what was

And what is, doesn’t make sense


How could we get here

With you and your arms

Wrapped around my scrapped body

The smell of alcohol on your breath 


Dead eye’s stare heavenly 

And the pain in your hug is unbearable

Why did we drive?

What made us think we could?



Broken glass lay scattered

The moon full, yet veiled

The night still and restless

And the smell of burned rubber hangs heavy in the air 


Your voice is the only thing tangible

And yet, the only thing I can’t understand

Is the words that tumble from your mouth

And the water that falls from your face 


Is it raining?

I don’t smell it

I don’t hear it

But I do hear something 


It is so soft

So distant

So close

And yet I cannot hear 


I see hands

And your fingers grip my arms tighter

Pulling me closer

While the others pull you away


Why can’t I move?

Why are my hands cold? 

Why can’t I tell him to shove off?

To leave us be


You can’t help him

Can’t help who?

He’s gone, there’s nothing you can do

NO!! 


The Star’s are beautiful tonight

Are those sirens in the distance?

Hm, I wonder what happened

Somebody crash?


Wait.

Did we.

Did I?

…...



 Die?
