He laid her down in the backseat, coat off and on the floor in the middle of winter. And I wish I could tell you that the sunroof was open, that she saw stars flying by on their drive. I wish I could tell you that everything was alright. She sees dark until she comes to, bright lights of a parking garage sting her eyes. She thinks of sun and the beach, anything to warm her up. His hands are in her hair, on her face, pulling at her mouth as she pulls away. And I wish I could tell you that everything was alright. She doesn’t open her eyes again until morning, but she is crying before she wakes up. Tears cloud her vision as he hovers over her. Words won’t form, but as she pulls her dress over her head she chokes out “why”. A car is out front, he doesn’t even bother to put his clothes back on. She lays down in the backseat, but the driver doesn’t seem to mind. Opens her mouth in a silent scream. And I wish I could tell you that everything was alright.
