Hello.  This actually happened to a senior girl in my school the day before the senior prom.
--

Darkness covered the highway
Snuck up between cracks
Trailed in between cars
Used stars to cover its own tracks

Cell phone in hand
Laughter, a smile, and even a squeal
Her heart in her hands
Her hands on the wheel

The brake of a truck failed
The driver turned into stone
The truck went out of control
The girl dropped her phone

Lights flashed against the darkness
Blue, red, white, blue, red, white
Paramedics, policemen, firemen
They all knew it wasn't alright

Blood dripping bright red
From the drivers head
The girl limp against the glass
Lying in her deathbed

Small town is shocked
Never happened in a town this size
The family of both is stricken
Neither one ready to say its goodbyes

Forever,
Arabesque<3
