The night that I have lived before
Fresh out of shower waterfall
Window cracked I feel it all!
the fresh breeze rolling past the screen
from the cars rushed down below

The night that I have lived before
dusk it is, just barely light
then it comes, out of my sight
I hear the tires, the screeching brakes
Then the crash, the cringing crunch
The shattered glass the helpless scream

The night that I have lived before
The cars that continue on their way,
Over the glass sprayed every way
The cops are here within a second,
“It wasn’t my fault!” He arrives to hear

The night that I have lived before
Curses, pitches high and low,
He was going 80 though!
Neighbors rush right to the sight
Hand in hand hold flashlights tight
Then comes the sirens, red and blue

The night that I have lived before
I hear the busied voices scattered
But cannot see for any matters
All I have are glares and sounds
But I know what’s next,
To come around

Every once in a while i am in my bedroom and hear these horrific sounds. I cannot stand to listen every time and keep all of it bottled up inside.
