The World Collapsed

The pain cut deep So deep, into my soul my heart I fell to my knees in a painful heap Your body tore apart As your car tumbled and rolled tossing you about I looked upon your stillness in pain and cried out Whether you lived or not in doubt A wheelchair for life is a price you paid, I weep 6/10/19 Writing Challenge, June 2019 Crumbling Rhyme Poetry Contest sponsor Dear Heart
