Broken Crayons Still Color

"Car Crash"

She stood next to me as we watch

At that point I took notice

That shit I forgot

How could I forget the present?

I was unsure but I felt my heart drop

I nudged her elbow and spoke quietly into her ear

"We need to go. We have to pick something up"

She nodded her head and prepared to leave

I stood still for a moment

Letting my friend finish her time

And then right afterwards I walk towards her

Slowly slid into a spot next to her

As she gathered me into her arms and hug me closely

I felt the warmth in her arms and slowly relax

She had loved me oh so dearly

But not as much as I had loved her

I quickly lied and told her we had to pick something up

It was important and couldn't wait

She was alright with the idea and didn't fight

Instead she laid a gentle kiss upon my forehead

Hug me closey once more and told me she loved me

I said my I love yous back before she let go

I got up from my spot in the chair and at that point she was ready to go

We said our final goodbyes and I glance one last time at her

She smiled softly and reminded me to be stay

"Of course mom" I chuckled lightly

We got into the car and buckled up

I pulled out of the driveway and put the car in drive

We went slow and steady before speeding up

Everything seem fine in fact it was perfect

I was thinking of what to get her

Maybe a necklace or a bracelet

We made small talk here and there

And then out of no where

The car began to rumble

Like some sort of monster who woken up from his nap

It sped out of control

I couldn't get it to stop

I fought long and hard with that monster

Beg him to spare our lives

But he wasn't giving up he wasn't going to call quits

We must of played tug a war for what seem like forever

Until finally I let go and the car crash 

We hit it hard and we hit it fast

I can't remember much but I can remember

How the car somehow magically spun in circles

Until eventually it hit a brick wall and flop over

I must of hit my head because eventually everything was a blur

For a moment it was dark until suddently I came to

Flashes of the scene flooded my memory

I felt the blood drip from my forehead

As I sat frozen in my seat unable to lift a finger

The windshield was crack

The car had been crush

I slightly look over at her

Blood pooled from her body

Like a irrupted volcano that finally blew

As much as I didn't want to accpet it

I knew at that moment that she was gone

I tried calling her name

However the words wouldn't come out

I began to feel myself cry

As I beg God not to take her

She was one of my good friends

My family

Minutes after I could hear the sirens

But my head began to feel dizzy

And before I realized it

Before I could mutter a single word

Hold her hand

Or recall what happen next

My eyelids closed without command

Everything went dark

Silent in fact

And that's all I can you about that day
