The Crash
There has been an accident
And I don’t know what to do
The sirens are getting closer
And yet, I hear no voices
I was at my friends house
And had a couple beers
Until I got a phone call
I picked it up and answered
The other voice had said
"Where are you?"
I knew
That I was screwed
My little brother had practice that day
And I was supposed to pick him up
I got to the school safely
And decided everything was going to be okay
I didn’t see the other person
Then there was a flash
And in that flash
There was a crash
Three out of the four people had died that day
And I'm that number four
In the other vehicle
There was a dad and his daughter
Going home from the park
The little girl was only six years old
Most important though
Was my little brother
He had died that day
Did I tell you
He was only ten
The paramedic said
"He died quickly"
They always say that though
I knew it wasn't true
They just said that to help us get through
He is dead
And I'm alive
And I don't know what to do
