A Girl On The Road
By Antonio Pagliarulo
There’s a girl lying down on the road,
Her body is twisted in place,
Yellow tape seals the scene,
And a sheet is thrown over her face.
There are two men standing above her,
Each with a tear in his eye,
They’ve been at this scene before,
And before they’ve seen this girl die.
She was innocent, as were the others,
Though her life was snuffed away,
The victim of a crime so senseless,
Who will not see another day.
We cannot help but wonder,
How she felt with that final breath,
Caught in the glare of the headlights,
Staring into the eyes of death.
The car had slammed against her,
A crime so quickly perpetrated,
The driver had stumbled from the car,
Blank and intoxicated.
He had left the scene in an ambulance,
Shaken but still alive,
And his victim would soon be buried,
Because he decided to drink and drive.
