Flowers of our tragedy

i've decided, we are the wreck
the post is empty, abandonned
we collided head on
and killed each other instantly
no one gathers by the scene
leaves their remorse for our departure
maybe we were never alive
and flowers don't seem fit to reward
our self inflicted tragedy
you and i holding hands on that night
when i whispered i love you
offered it like a peace gift
cherished but used and worn
and you accepted so we crashed
into oncoming traffic
because we couldn't keep it in our own lane
we've been spilling over since we locked eyes
since we surrendered to the muffled leaving song of love
and the reassurance of worth in each other
we are so vane with our expectations
at first forever was a promise
a vow and void we grew to see
that irony is the tragedy in this highway of choices
but i chose you and couldn't let you off the road
traveling at dangerous speeds away from me
and all i could control was the brakes and the accelorator
since we crashed i've been slamming down hard on both
and not moving at all
i mean i'm not going anywhere but your thoughts
i'm not gracing anything but the steering wheel
tightly and regrettably stuck clenching down
refusal is our trust
maybe we were never alive
and flowers don't seem fit to reward
our self inflicted tragedy
so grab my hand one last time
trace the scars i made so blind
and draw the last breath you can
when you let go i demand
to depart and never return
this road must be burned
you're in the car, and i'm outside on the ground
i'm empty as always
don't worry though, you'll be found
drive away from my wreck
there's really nothing left
and i'm left
still
where we collide
i die
and flowers just don't seem fit
to reward this tragedy that i enflict
