the sun 

is shining,

and

my favorite song 

is playing.

"Lily!"

screams echo in my head. 

Lily, Lily, Lily

My feet are glued 

to the pavement

but I lift 

them anyway.

Suddenly, 

everything breaks 

my head, my skull is splitting. 

my world is spinning

black car

black tires

everything is black

but all I can think

is Lily-

where is she,

is she here,

lying on the street 

with me?

I think of her, 

hope I pushed her

hard enough 

far enough.

I hope I saved her.
