A Crash

“Shes indecisive

She cant decide

She keeps on lookin

From left to right

Girl, cmon get closer

Look in my eyes

Searchin is so wrong

Im Mr. Right”

 

The car passes the first lane,

But it doesn’t stop.

Mom, mom? Answer me… mommy?!

Through the grass.

Losing control

Being tossed around.

All that is going through your head is,

Grab the wheel, grab it kate!

Out of the median and into the traffic.

 

“You seem like the type

To love em and leave em

And disappear right after this song.

So give me the night

To show you, hold you

Dont leave me out here dancin alone”

 

The car starts to roll, once, twice.

We hit the poll and finally come to a stop.

Look over, the cars are passing by,

I see my moms face her body slumped over the seat.

 

“911 what is your emergency?”

 

“We just wrecked my mom isn’t waking up she, she passed out wile we were driving she’s not responding to me!” crying, “Please I need help, she wont wake up.”

 

“Did you make contact with any other cars?”

 

“Not that im aware of.”

 

“Ok I will send an ambulance and the police are on their way.”

 

I need to call my dad,

Why isn’t she waking up.

The sounds of the cars traveling at speeds of 70 miles per hour or more makes, me start to lose it.

I hear the sirens,

They ask me my name, and what happened.

The EMT pulls my mother’s body out of the car.

 

My daddy shows up and just holds me and tells me,

“everything will be ok, it’s alright baby it’s alright.”
