16 years

its a girl who gets drunk and then drives home, on her way she causes a pile up.

screeching tiers, shattered glass
screaming voises, all drenched in gas
mangled bodies, burn up in a flash
in a drunken state, she causes a crash

a final breath, blood soaked tears
a screaming mother, only 16 years
consuming darkness, silence is all she hears
the memory of the crash, overcome by fears

a bright girl, never to know what the future has
burning bodies help fule the gas
a young life is about to pass
16 years over in a flash
