...but i will never forget.

Honorable Mention in I Didn’t Say That Out Loud Challenge

i will never forget screams torn killed

tanker head on no chance

identify the body head on a platter

no, i don't want to see the wreckage forced to

carnage scattered meat twisted metal ball

we are so sorry for your loss he was such a good man

shhhhh...

please don't speak ill of the dead we never speak ill of the dead

i will never forget screams torn whipped

thick dread raw flesh no chance

bloody, stolen innocence child on a platter

you didn't want to see the wreckage backs turned

carnage only meat dirty little girl

but don't speak ill of the dead we never speak ill of the dead

shhhhh...

we are so sorry for your loss your dad was such a good man
