She came upon a Midnight Clear There in that road stood the deer, Her eyes full of fear. Why was she there? How did she get to a place so unsafe? Away from her home Where she used to freely roam. What drew her away What caused her to stray? Now so afraid she is unable to move. Stuck and unsafe, her footing glued. Her eyes listened As the headlights glistened. The closer they came Like deafening rain. How did she get there? To that place so unsafe Away from her home Where she used to safely roam. What drew her away From her wonderful life? Her mind confused now surrounded by strife? To the road on that midnight clear. Of glaring headlights coming near. It was her unseen mind that stole her away To a dangerous place where now she lay. Gone from the world she had to fight Thus goes the saying…. A deer in headlights. The county truck will take her away Her life erased and onto a new day And now she can see She was me. She was me.
