They said your body was broken.

The jaws of life unveiled a crescendo pink and white.

The car was horribly contorted.

Rusted steel crushed your sturdy frame once so strong.

It was in a shallow ditch when the authorities found it your upper body was nearly unscathed.

You went for an innocent cruise red impala you said you'd be back very shortly you said in a jiffy ironically.

No.

You were supposed to have a baby girl

Shia you said her name would be brown eyes just like yours.

I wondered how pretty she would be Shia if she would get along with mine I thought she would.

Oh uncle she would call me uncle J though we weren't really related we really were.

You were to graduate college the first in your family become a psychiatrist help all the confused people others always came first.

You were going to open a practice

Doctor T it was to be down town by the Indian restaurant.

You wanted to volunteer at the homeless shelter tell them they're always welcome to swing on by warm.

You wanted to marry at 29 a man named Travis he was going to be a Virgo a perfect match.

The wedding would be on a beach you said we'd kiss by the sea sunset on the sand.

You said we’d move to the suburbs Lakewood such a liberal little town a good place to raise some children.

You'd live in a light green house big backyard Shia’s room would be yellow.

She would do well in school honor roll you'd save up for her college she’d be into art you said she'd be like me.

We would go on double dates our spouses would be good friends we'd drink wine on Sundays.

Me and Travis would talk football get louder as the wine would flow you'd sit back and laugh at how lucky we were.

We'd both get to 65 we'd retire maybe move to Tennessee well that's what we dreamed. We’d make enough money.

We'd both go out peacefully at 90 or something loved ones close by. We never imagined.

Tragic.

We chose your favorite dress told them to wing your eyeliner just like Amy Winehouse she was your idol.

Your mother didn't show just like always she left the arrangement to me and all the people you touched. All the people you loved they loved you back.

Oh and I chose the headstone i chose the one with the angel I never cared you were atheist. I know they exist I know you exist because your song plays on the radio every time that I think of you.

The one i heard a million times That song you sang every day the one that was way overplayed take me to church.

I wondered if it played upon impact.
