Write a poem that could have this as the title.
I’m Sorry
_screeching~_
_bang~_
_crash~_
_screeching~_
It happened so fast,
I couldn’t move an inch,
No matter how hard I tried,
I just couldn’t.
And now I don’t think I’ll ever move,
Not after what I just witnessed.
You got hit by a truck,
And went flying,
Straight into an oncoming car.
Unbeknownst to me,
My mind is engraving the sight of you,
Broken legs sticking out of a windshield,
Glass etching into your skin,
Blood surrounding you.
I couldn’t move in time to save you,
And because I am mute,
I couldn’t warn you.
Now,
You’re gone,
And it’s all my fault,
I’m sorry,
I’m so sorry.
_silent crying~ _
