Hearts crash and glass
shatters, spread open
souls, blood. Tires
shred, tears are shed,
I rip the safety belt off,
wanting to be exposed,
to you. Screams of help
are whispered when I
speak. Broken promises,
Tail lights explain you’re
gone. Radio blaring love,
I whimper, as the ambulance
carries away my hope.
