Eyes stare out of frosted windows
Snowflakes dance in the howling wind
Charcoal black street stretches on forever
No one in sight
Nose red from the chilly wind
We are in a giant freezer
Smiles painted on our faces
Vacation is near
Through the frosted window
I see a car wavering back and forth like a drunken person
The shadow of the car approaches
And dad doesn't notice
Until it is too late
We lurch forward in the seat like a rollercoaster
The rail holding us back from death
It breaks
And then all support is gone
Screams, blood, tears
Mom is gone
She was the closest
To the abyss below us
Windows shatter into billions of shards
My heart shatters into more
The wind howls in despair
Why does love hurt
Sounds of sirens
Clash of handcuffs
Cries of brother
Hand in hand, we fall into blackness
Lost connection
From the world
Snow stained scarlet
We lay in peace
