The Night The Stars Did Not Align

A party! But tonight I won't dance —

on the back of the door hangs

my blue dress. He shouts, Going for

a pack of smokes. Be right back.

A call came in from Officer Roy,

there has been an accident

my forever with him is completely void,

his car, his youthful body torn

wrapped his sporty car around a tree

so hurried to kill himself

speeding like drivers of the Grand Prix

he died, holding hands with Steph.
