It's a cold autumn morning
birds chirping in the distance.
The dew is settled in the front lawn and cars
cars driving by in the distance making their way to work.
Closing the front door i make my way down the front steps and
onto the pavement.
Putting headphones in I start making my way down the
sidewalk.
The cool air hurts my lungs with every breath I take in,
but it helps clear my mind.
Picking up my pace I start to breathe harder, burning my throat
even more but I keep pushing on.
Reaching the end of the side walk I vear off onto a side country
road.
Running to the beat of the music I pick up my pace a little
more.
I must've been so concentrated on the road ahead of me I
didn't see the car coming at me.
When I realized it was too late, i could feel my body flying
through the air but I don't remeber hitting the ground.
Coming to I watched tires peel off and just the distance of brake
lights getting further and further.
They left me for dead.
No stopping, no cops, no help,
just darkness closing around me, and the cold air wrapping its
blanket on my limp body.
