A Flawless Tragedy


Snow falls, tires spin. A slight misconception and our worlds turn. Clenched fists, helpless, the car screeches on with uncertainty. As metal meets its kin, the sensation begins, the air filling up with smoke keeps you from breathing in. As sirens met a whisper, the fogginess came clearer, and the cries of agony arose behind the driver's mirror. Wounds heal, but bodies ache, stunned by how easily a life can change. A tragedy so flawless, memories lie haunted, i meet the gaze of headlights every time i close my eyes. From the marks across my chest, to the cross around my neck, to the apologies so soon received that relieve you of your debt.Is this a blessing in disguise? It's no coincidence to leave us all alive.
