Headlights

Lost to the headlights
of the other drivers van
colliding at perfect timing
as if it were a plan
she lay there in the street
vision blurry from the glare
of those headlights gleaming bright
illuminating dusty air

She tries to make a sound
but no one seems to hear
she listens in the chaos
but silence is all that's clear
a tear rolls down her face
for she never said goodbye
to all the ones she loved
who made a difference in her life

Now she's fading fast
and she hopes to god they know
that her memories will always stay
although it is her time to go
she feels the rain begin to fall
as she takes her one last breath
and then so softly her eyes close
in an unexpected death
