What They'll Say
Trigger Warning
By his hands, I died today.
It wasn't my fault,
But that's what not they'll say.
~
He's a well mannered guy,
Honest and polite,
He would never tell a lie.
~
That's what his parents will say,
The neighbors agree,
And yet, I still died today.
~
Her shirt neckline was too low,
Her skirt was too short,
His friends will rowdily crow.
~
Even though I died today,
It wasn't his fault.
That's what the town will all say.
~
A high school athletic star,
Loved by one and all,
Are they sure it was his car?
~
That's what the papers will say,
With records he set.
His future? I died today!
~
The police will roll their eyes
While my friends protest
And my poor family cries.
~
I died today.
It was my fault.
That's what they'll say.
