She woke up this morning
Not wanting to close her eyes
She would see his image
Etched into her mind
A bid vibe lingered
Along with some shadows
She dismissed any thoughts
And waved the shadows away
She stepped outside
Into the dreary day
Headed to school
Not taking a different way
It was only two days ago
And her friend died
A short sided victim
To a bloody suicide
It broke her heart
It penetrated her mind
How could anyone do this?
How could he be so foolish
She walked by his house
His parents away
Staying with family
On this dreary day
People were heartbroken
But still carried on
The girl couldn’t do it
It was just too hard
She stopped at an intersection
Waiting for the light
When a speeding car
Went into flight
It landed on its top
The drunk driver stumbled away
Leaving a body
Exactly where it lay
Ambulances were called
To save the girl
Hit by the car
While on the curb
Rushed to the hospital
Like dejavu
This is what happened
In a moment or two
Two funerals were held
For a boy and girl
Their death such tragedies
Only two days apart
Buried together
The best of friends
Lost in time
That doesn’t seem to end
That dreary day
Sealed her fate
The shiny gun
So full of hate
Two friends laid in the ground
That’s where their forever bound
