DID YOU SEE IT COMING?

Did you see it coming?

That split second

When you thought

I must get out of the way

This can't be happening

You lay on the road like a rag doll

Tossed aside like an angry child

He cradled you in his arms

Your splendor had been rewarded

With a broken, ugly crown

Sometimes when I close my eyes

I feel the car's impact

The searing pain and drunken darkness

Most times I feel the shock

This was not supposed to happen

Did you fall asleep peacefully?

Did you know who and what you were

Did you dream your life again

Or did your body fight on without you

While you looked down from above

I felt you close for days and days

As if you didn't want to leave

The wind was you, the sky was you

You were everything and nothing

But ..... did you see it coming?
