I mean it’s not like you are my pet
or anything
Christ almighty never fail
Guts spilled ****** splatters
another road ****

Possums
Raccoons
Rabbits
and Deer
Kitty Cats
Puppies
Squirrels
just laying there

Innocent creatures
trying to cross
roads once were there’s
now only lost

Tears stream down
a dead one in view
I don’t understand
how this happens
to you

Cars fly by so fast
without care or a worry
Get to work
Get to dinner
Hurry hurry hurry

Run over that animal
It’s not a big deal
Overpopulation
A nuisance
Dead at the wheel

I cry and I cry and
I cry for
your life
It wasn’t your fault
I wish you were alive

We build our roads
On top of your home
And when your in the way
Our engines of chrome
leave your body to spray

Even as drivers quickly
pass by
I am quick to discover that
look in your eye  

You shouldn’t have suffered
You shouldn’t have died
I am so very sorry
But my hands are tied

I know that my sorrow
won’t bring you back
I bet it feels like your under attack

I didn’t even know you
We weren’t even close friends
My tears mean nothing
My hearts yours to the end
