Knowing Naomi

I lost control and I began to veer
My brother was sitting just by my side
I crashed into her, I could not steer.
The painful end to Naomi’s last ride
My truck stopped rolling just off of the street
My bother was thankfully still alright
I checked on her, she remained in her seat
I fell to knees at the heartbreaking sight
Her body was crushed in half at the waist
She turned her head and looked into my eyes
I knew that this feeling would not be replaced
No time for hellos, no time for goodbyes
We saw through our facades and looked within
A bond so pure and to the truest degree
Friendship at its’ end, just as we begin
I knew for sure that she knew the real me
I failed to speak after countless tries
She whispered to me “it’ll be fine”
Then I saw the pain leave from her eyes
And I felt it move right into mine
