I didn’t mean to get in your path
that’s the honest truth
you see I was on my way somewhere too
a place to rest for the night and avoid the danger hunting me
but it’s unfortunate I can not tell you my reasons now
since it’s far too late
my mouth is gushing with what runs through my blood vessels
my legs have shattered like twigs
and my precious fur has now been damaged by your thick tires
I know you didn’t mean to do that on purpose and you must have been very confused of why I stopped in your tracks
but theirs an explanation for why
it was your car lights
that extravagant bright light that shines through the deep dark mist
if you where in my position you would understand how pretty they looked from afar and more beautiful up close
they were mesmerizing to me
it felt like the sun was coming down upon me to gaze upon it
as if it has chosen me instead of any other deer to see its glory
but it’s such a shame that I was only able to experience this type of view for only a few minutes until the incident
now my body is beginning to get weaker
through my lenses I can see you get out of the car but I can’t understand what words were coming out of your mouth
suddenly I saw a weird look in your eyes
the same look I had when I saw those lights
my eyelids began to drift away
I hear sounds of footsteps coming my direction
then I heard a very loud sound of something mechanical
then there was something brushing against my antlers aggressively
before I could question what you wanted to do with my antlers
my body surrendered into the afterlife
now my form has turned into a phantom
watching cars pass me in full speed with their lights flashing
knowing they can’t **** what’s already gone
