It's 3 AM now, and the road has been empty for hours
No city lights are with her as she dreamt rose garden dreams and flowers
With her trench coat on, feeding her body with feeble heat
Driving fast in her vintage car, battered by the cold street
She's been driving for ages in the dusk, going an unrelenting 120
Though her face is illuminated with the headlights, darkness kept her murky
As if her welling dejection and sadness wasn't enough,
The frigid winter night had struck her with a bleak cuff
At long last, the woman gazed away from the windshield
Looking up to see the overbridge before her vehicle, neglected and concealed
The bridge that claimed the lives of many, the height being the last height they see
She wondered of the souls that once stood there, jumping to their ends to flee
"What a tragedy," she whispered in the cold, now going about 130
She drove under the bridge as the peculiar darkness ended abruptly
As her heart beats faster in her chest, so did her ice-crusted car
She passed the haunting bridge, into the snowfall, and saw glittering black ice from afar
She used to wonder the final thoughts made by those who stood on the bridge's verge
What kind of tears they wept, and what sense of comfort emerged
Yet now, for this one moment, she knew the answer already
After all, what were these thoughts in her head that made her unsteady?
The car crashed through the highway fence and into the frozen lake
And along with it, the woman plunged as well, eyes closed yet still wide awake
The dark waters have claimed her life, her doomed life as the other woman
And now, encrusted under the ice is the face of a woman that no one knew
Her skin as cold as the waters that drowned her, her dead eyes coloured blue
It's 5 AM now, and the road has been empty for hours
No city lights are with her as she lay dead, dreaming of funeral flowers
