I Never Thought it would End this Way.

I never thought it would end this way,

The dead silence of the night is reassuring because I'm alone.

A bright light shines in my face, just like the bright lights of my favorite bar.

The night began just like every other friday night, out with my friends.

Laughter, joy, and plenty of drinks celebrating the birthday of my buddy Matt.

We stayed there for hours, making sure Matt throughly enjoyed his night.

It was perfect,

The perfect night, the perfect life-style, that we had come to love.

It abruptly came to an end, prematurely as the last call was called

and it was time to go home.

I got out to look at the damage of my truck,

The interior was fine, the exterior was totaled.

The silence was then broken by a deafening scream, by a familiar voice.

I knew it was Matt, I knew if he was screaming,

it was serious.

With no-one around, and my truck a wreck,

help was in question.

I rushed to him, and he took his last breath,

in my arms.

A night suppose to be a celebration,

turned out to be a nightmare.

I never thought it would end this way.
