Nightmare In the Beginning

Walks along the beach,
Watching the sunset on the roof top of his car.
Waiting for it to set so we can drive home.
As he opens the door,
He kneels to the ground
reaches into his pocket
and pulls out a box.
"will you be mine forever?"
i still hear the words like they are being echoed on a tall mountain.
Speechless i shook my head yes
he closed the door.
and he got into the drivers seat.
the ride home was amazing
except we never made it.
the streets seemed so still
so quiet
and then the world seemed to be ending.
hit on one side
not mine 
but his
as tears roll down my cheeks. 
i see him sitting there.
Against the deformed steering wheel
blood down his forehead
and blood down his shirt.
This is the end.
This was the beginning of something i knew i wouldn't survive
the beginning of the end
