Suicide Attempt

The collors go by Flashing yellow, red and green I suck in my breath As I watch his death It all happens so quickly In the middle of the highway And it was seen By me I quickly pulled over For the guy on the motercycle Just got hit by a rover Truck I cover my mouth And jump to help Sirens come from the south And I just stand there Not sure of what to do How to save a life I just knew It would be to late Traffic piles up behind me And I wish I didn't have to see The sight before me The broken body on the ground No longer making a sound I start to cry, tears streaming down my face The EMT comes by, quickening there pace But it's too late, too late It must have been fate Only I saw what happened it the dark A suicide attempt And it hit the mark

It was too sudden. How helpless you must have felt by not being able to help.
