Tragic Crash (made from an article from The Putnam County Courier, the local paper)

Recently, I was in a car accident, which I'm still both emotionally and physically recovering from.  On August 11, 2011, I lost my best friend in this accident. I created this poem in the hospital, using an article from our local paper on the accident and her death. This poem is for you, Caitlyn.



Tragic Crash


A horrible accident,
Massive injuries
The vehicle rolled.

Lost control
We drifted into a ditch.

unresponsive,
not breathing.
The young woman
Wonderful, caring,
her short time
rushed.

She was pronounced dead.

We are heartbroken mourners.

Caitlyn was laid to rest
and I love her like she is returning home.
