I loved you like a car crash
On a road of asphalt fears
Smoking fumes of black regret
And gushing oil tears
The spark you lit inside me
Was the flame that scorched my soul
The pistons all keep pumping
But the wheels refuse to roll
The twisted, burning wreckage
Strewn across the battered ground
Will stop the flowers growing
There for years and miles around
And all the screaming sirens,
Flashing lights, and prayers for breath
Were not enough to save us,
Me from crashing, you from death
I loved you like a medic
Pressing life into your heart
But you are gone. And I remain.
Just pieces blown apart.
