The Crash

Asleep on her eternal bed

She lay silent,

Calm.

Satisfied, with her lips twisted into a withering smile

Seemingly ready to part

But she wasn’t, was she now?

Her peace was something we would never allow


She was loved

While she lived and now

And as the year reaches 2550

I write to any survivor, or perhaps in hope of one.

We left a while ago

And there’s only a few us left


The rest were in the crash

A car we wrongly turned

Regret, regret.

Another fire burned.
