Broken Wheel

Shattered glass on the floor mats

Blood stains where you sat

The needle resting on zero

Why were you going so fast



Broken CDs litter the dash

The hood creased in half

The headlights gone to shine no more

On a bad night's aftermath



The seatbelt cut in two

What were the meds supposed to do

Pulse beating slowly, then slower

In seconds your conscious left you



What were you thinking

Besides what a stupid decision you made

What about "tomorrow we'll hang"

Or your last "peace out, Rick James"



Today, I saw the death of you

You couldn't imagine how it made me feel

The bloody handprint left on the seat

And the broken steering wheel

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I went to see the car today . Why does life seem to be going downhill right now, when for a time, it was just going back up?
