Death

You have drifted
away from us and
we don't know why
we only know how
you died

That dreadful morning
the roads were wet and
your car just wasn't
right

You hit the breaks
but the tires don't grab
and those tires screech
like a bat out of hell

You grab on the wheel
for dear life the car
starts turning to fall over

Your seat belt fails
as the winsheild
collapses and no
one could imagine
what would happen
next

Your daughter turns to
look at you only to find
the most horrific site

Her mother with no face

made for my friend who lost her mom in a car accident
