Driving as usual
Down the long
Empty highway,
Nothing but the
Split horizon ahead of me.
The sky the brightest blue
I've ever seen.
The wind blowing
Through my hair.
The trees along the highway
Vivid and full of life,
Not a care in the world.
I hear a ringing in my ear.
It's just the phone.
I answered.
I hear her say,
"You need to pull over,
Now."
I do.
She spoke.
The only words I heard were,
"He's dead".
The world around me
Slowly began to deteriorate.
The sky turned gray
Seeming like winter in the summertime.
My hands began to shake.
My heart palpitating.
Every thought in my mind
Had slowly begun to
Fade away.
Everything that had once seemed right
Was wrong.
What started off as a beautiful day
Turned into the
Worst day of my life.
He didn't die alone.
